Supreme Court declines plea on Kaziranga National Park

The Supreme Court of India declined to hear a plea challenging a Gauhati High Court order regarding Kaziranga National Park. The High Court had adjourned the case indefinitely, noting that related issues were already before the Supreme Court. The petition raised concerns about the park's biodiversity and the declaration of an eco-sensitive zone. The High Court found no evidence that the Supreme Court had resolved these issues. The Supreme Court advised the petitioner's counsel to withdraw the plea and file a new application in the ongoing proceedings. The plea highlighted threats to the park's wildlife, including the one-horned rhino.
