High Court direction to Karnataka government
The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday directed the State government, the Forest Department and the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to evolve a scheme to protect residents of Bengaluru from the menace of monkeys and to ensure that they are driven back to their natural habitats in a humane way. Noticing that a scheme was evolved and implemented in NCT Delhi on the directions of the Delhi High Court in the case of New Friends Colony residents Vs Union of India during 2001-07, the court said that the scheme to address the issue could be evolved based in directions issued by the Delhi High Court. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Suraj Govindaraj issued the directions while hearing a PIL petition filed by B.S. Radhanandan, a city-based advocate.More Related News
