The Supreme Court on Monday has refused to grant a stay to the High Court order directing the Goa government to notify the Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary and it’s surrounding areas as Tiger Reserve in three months time.
Which means that the Goa government will now have to declare Mhadei as a tiger reserve within one month notwithstanding the Goa government’s challenge to the High Court. Well, the Supreme Court’s refusal to grant a stay to the High Court order must have come like a rude shock to the Goa government.
Anyway, I just hope that the Supreme Court of India will somehow go to dismiss the Goa government’s special leave petition (SPL) filed in the top court at the very earliest and uphold the July 24, 2023 High Court order directing the Goa government to notify the Mhadei Wildlife Sanctuary and it’s surrounding areas as a Tiger Reserve.
