New Delhi, Feb 26: The Supreme Court on Friday refused contempt action against Maharashtra forest officials for killing a tigress in 2018.
During the hearing conducted through video conferencing, the bench told Dogra that the state government in its reply has said that the decision to kill the man eating tigress was approved by this Court.
"We cannot say that the tigress was not a man eater and review the earlier decision of the court," the bench said, adding that if the villagers celebrated that they were relieved by the killing then how it can be taken note of by the authorities.
