The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted two more weeks “as last opportunity” to States which have defaulted in notifying buffer zones around tiger reserves to regulate commercialisation of revenue land around the big cat’s habitats and help preserve the endangered species.
A Bench of Justice Swatanter Kumar and Justice Ibrahim Kalifulla passed the direction after it was told that several States had failed to notify the zones despite an earlier direction from the Court. Rajasthan’s counsel, however, told the Court that the State had already notified the zone.
