Madras High Court Stays Order Restricting Tamil Nadu Temples from Acquiring Elephants
The Madras High Court's Division Bench has temporarily stayed a Single Bench order that barred Tamil Nadu temples from acquiring elephants and suggested relocating all captive elephants to government rehabilitation camps. The Division Bench ruled the earlier order invalid as it was issued without hearing the State government or temple authorities. The Single Bench had issued the directive following concerns over the welfare of captive elephants, including the case of a female elephant named Lalitha. The court emphasized the need for proper procedures and stakeholder involvement in such decisions.
