Gauhati High Court Keeps Pending Plea on Transfer of Assam Elephants to Tamil Nadu
The Gauhati High Court has kept pending an application challenging the transfer of five privately owned elephants from Assam to temples in Tamil Nadu, directing the Assam government to respond by the next hearing. The court noted no law prohibits such transfers if statutory clearances are obtained and emphasized the importance of the elephants' welfare. The case arises amid concerns over potential mistreatment, referencing a previous elephant's extended stay in Tamil Nadu, but the court found no reason to restrain the transfer at this stage.
