MC 2280/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY Heard Mr. Ms. N.S. Thakuria, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. Rahman, l earned State Counsel. The writ petitioner had approached this Court being aggrieved by the detention o f his female elephant Subhadra by the respondent authorities. A notice of mot ion was issued on 03.05.2010. As it appears from the records that meanwhile, a confiscation proceeding was initiated against the said elephant and eventually v ide order dated 04.05.2010 it has been confiscated to the State. Though, by the instant miscellaneous application, the aforementioned order is so ught to be annulled, in the opinion of this Court, having regard to the backgrou nd of the writ petition, the same ought to be assailed by amending the same. The misc. case, therefore stands closed with the above observation leaving the p etitioner at liberty to take necessary steps as required in law.
