Greetings,

Kindly refer to the PTI reporting, which is reproduced as below:

New Delhi, Dec 23 (PTI) The Delhi High Court today sought response from the city
government on a plea seeking contempt proceedings against it for allegedly failing to
comply with the court's 2007 direction to provide food to monkeys rehabilitated at AsolaBhatti Wildlife Sanctuary here.
Justice V K Shali also issued notice to Chief Secretary and Chief Wildlife Warden of the
Delhi government seeking their reply on as to why contempt proceedings be not initiated
against them.
It has been learns through media that the monkeys captured and rehabilitated by the Delhi
Administration to the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary and these monkeys are facing basic
needs like food, water, treatment and care, where as these monkeys are protected under the
Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and as per section 39 of this Act, these wild animals are the
property of the Delhi Administration under care of the Chief Wildlife Warden of Delhi, as
guardian of these monkeys. It is over all responsibilities of the Chief Wildlife Warden along
with the Govt. of Delhi through Chief Secretary, to look after these wild animals but both
guardians are failed to perform their official duties read with the fundamental duties as
well, where as Honble Supreme Court of India uphold the animal rights read with the
section 3 and 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 in the recent judgement
dated 7-5-2014 and the complainant was the one of the part of the said petition.
Hence both legal guardians of the scheduled wild animals are committing crime under IPC
120-B, 428-429, section 3 and 11 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 read
with the Delhi Police Act, 1978.

As per reports, Honble Delhi High Court has issued notices, in the Contempt petition No.

On December 25, 2014 again Chief Wildlife Warden comes forward to feed the monkeys,
which proved my allegations and crime against monkeys, said image was provided by the
petitioner.
Over 1,000 monkeys may have died in Delhi's Asola Bhatti wildlife sanctuary after pending bills
stopped their food supplies earlier this month, women and child development minister Maneka
Gandhi said on Thursday, terming the procurement of fruits and vegetables a Rs. 200 crore scam.
The animal-rights activist claimed money meant for feeding the simians and planting fruitbearing trees was being stolen, demanding a CAG audit of the forest department's accounts and
jail terms for guilty officials.
"It's a big scandal. Fruit-bearing trees were to be raised to offset high food bills. Not a single tree
has been planted. Annual expenditure of Rs. 8 crore for food supplies and trees has doubled in
recent years. The entire money is being stolen," Gandhi told HT.

Officials rush with food, monkeys too weak to eat

This indicates misuse of crores of rupees since the forest department says it raised 17 lakh trees
since 2000 in the 4,845-acre sanctuary that was carved out of the southern ridge area between
1986 and 1991.
It also claims to have done massive eco-restoration in the area, badly degraded due to excessive
mining.
Civic authorities have captured over 18,000 monkeys and released them in the sanctuary after a
2007 Delhi high court verdict asked for the simians' relocation.
To offset rising food bills, the forest department was instructed to raise fruit-bearing trees that
could be utilized to feed the animals.
HT was the first to report that Asola's monkeys were starving since December 4, when
contractors stopped daily supplies of nearly 2,500 kg of fruits and vegetables as bills from March
to November remained unpaid.
HT also exposed the sanctuary's spiking food bills in October last year and pointed out that the
forest department had failed to hold an open tender for the process.
After an HC notice to the government on Tuesday over the starving monkeys, activists alleged
forest department officials tried to tamper with documents to show feeding never stopped. A
group of animal activists Wednesday reached the department office and shot a video. "We did so
to prevent wrong entries," said an activist.
The department denied all such allegations. "We resumed feeding from Thursday. We are in
touch with the finance department to resolve pending issues. Because of excessive mining, the
sanctuary is a badly degraded area. It takes time to make it green," said department chief Tarun
Coomar.
Activists, however, refused to buy his explanation. "Feeding resumed only when the matter was
brought to the notice of L-G Najeeb Jung. The court in 2007 also asked for collection of food
offered at temples and its transportation to the sanctuary, but wasn't implemented," said another
activist.
