ALWAR: The Supreme Court has asked Sariska Tiger Reserve officials to produce the documents of the poaching cases against the accused Jugru, Teyab and Ramzan after the accused managed to get bail from the court producing fake documents.
Following a controversy on granting of bail to the accused by the apex court on September 6, the Supreme court had sent notice to the reserve officials and asked them to present the facts to the court.
The officials, on verification of the documents, found the accused had misled the court with forged and fake documents to get bail. The accused claimed they had already undergone four years and three months imprisonment while the mobile court had handed out only imprisonment for three years.
Bhaganwan Singh Nathawat, ACF, Sarika National Park, who appeared before the court in this connection, has sought seven days for a detailed report on the incident. He said that while the accused had only undergone one year 11 months and 18 days imprisonment of their five-year sentence. He said the accused got the bail on the basis of forged documents and certificates.
He said a bench of the Rajasthan Court in February had denied them bail and they approached the Supreme Court, bypassing a higher bench in the Rajasthan High Court.

This blog is a humble contribution towards increasing awareness about problems being faced wrt Tiger Conservation in India. With the Tiger fast disappearing from the radar and most of us looking the other way the day is not far when the eco system that supports and nourishes us collapses. Citizen voice is an important tool that can prevent the disaster from happening and this is an attempt at channelising the voice of concerned nature lovers.
