https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=469163 A writ petition under Article 32 seeking directions for action over alleged CITES non-compliance was rejected because the alleged violation was not substantiated. The Court noted that a Special Investigation Team had already examined the matter and found no breach of domestic or international law, and that the CITES Secretariat document also showed no evidence of import without required documentation or for commercial purpose. It further held that an import made under valid permission cannot later be treated as prohibited merely because objections are raised afterwards, particularly where disturbing the custody and welfare of lawfully imported living animals may itself amount to cruelty. No ground for the requested regulatory directions was made out. en-us Mon, 09 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 05 Jun 2026 19:01:31 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=469163 A writ petition under Article 32 seeking directions for action over alleged CITES non-compliance was rejected because the alleged violation was not substantiated.
