The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a plea seeking initiation of contempt of court proceedings against Maharashtra Chief Secretary Vikas Kharge and other state officials for announcing reward to people who had killed Avni , an adult tigress who had allegedly killed 13 people in the Yavatmal district in 2018.
A bench headed by the Chief Justice of India SA Bobde said, We understand its a serious issue but we cannot interfere. The Chief Justice said that in earlier litigation, the decision to kill the tiger was given by the court as the tigress was proved to be a man-eater. The state government has submitted a report in this regard which was accepted by the court
