Birds to be free after 5 years after court order

Fri, Aug 21 07:31 PM

 

New Delhi, Aug 21 (PTI) Five years of captivity for protected birds would end

soon with a Delhi court today allowing a plea by the police to release 48 of

them seized from a place here from two persons arrested under Wildlife

Prorection Act in 2004. Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sunil Chaudhary

passed the order to set them free in a natural habitat after being provided with

required medical treatment.

The police, in an application, sought permission to release 48 birds as seven of

them died yesterday while being produced in the court. The investigating officer

said there was no government facility for providing treatment to the birds in

the national capital except one Jain hospital here.

Counsel for two accused Mohsin Ali and Shafiq also submitted that he had no

objection if these birds were ordered to be released by the court. He, however,

denied these birds were recovered from the accused.

Among the birds ordered to be released are 28 black headed munias, 14 red

spotted munias, five rose ringed parakeets and one rose ringed parakeet (blue).

Meanwhile the court fixed August 27 as the date for final arguments against the

two accused in the case relating violations of the Wildlife Protection Act.

Ali was found in possession of 100 black headed munias, 50 zebra finches, four

parakeets while Shafiq had kept 100 black headed munias, 20 zebra finches, two

weaver birds, 100 red munias and 40 love birds and one white cockatoo at a place

in the old city area here on August one, 2004.

Dear Radhika,

Lovely news. I will rejoice and celebrate if the birds

survive in the wild. Thank you for sharing this item.

Good wishes,
