The Madras High Court on Friday called for a report from Tamil Nadu forest department regarding the news of some poachers having killed a male elephant in Dharmapuri district for its tusks and set fire to the carcass in an attempt to destroy the evidence on March 1 this year.
A Division Bench of Justices N. Sathishkumar and D. Bharatha Chakravarthy directed Special Government Pleader (forests) T. Seenivasan to make sure that the report was filed by March 13. The direction was issued after senior counsel T. Mohan brought to their notice the news story published in The Hindu on Thursday.
