‘Do Not Make Us Daroga For This’: Gujarat High Court Pulls Up State Forest Department, Western Railways for Failure of Ensuring No Accidental Deaths of Lions at Gir Wildlife Sanctuary
The Court cautioned that the State Forest Department has an obligation to make sure that no animal in the Gir sanctuary is injured by external factors.
Recently, the Gujarat High Court chastised the Western Railways and the State's Forest Department for their inaction in guaranteeing that there be no unintentional lion fatalities at the Gir Wildlife Sanctuary. The Court cautioned that the State Forest Department has an obligation to make sure that no animal in the Gir sanctuary is injured by external factors. “If you did any enquiry, why you did not find any solution earlier? This means there was no application of mind. You always need some interference from the court or some sword hanging over your head. We are not Darogaji (police officers). Do not make us Daroga for this. This is not done and not acceptable at all”, the court was cited saying by Bar and Bench. The Court has previously expressed worry about lions dying at a nearby railway crossing as a result of unintentional accidents with trains.
