SC dismisses another plea for probe into Vantara wildlife imports

The Supreme Court has dismissed another plea alleging violation of international wildlife norms in the import of endangered species by Vantara. The apex court, last year, dismissed a similar PIL and held there was "no contravention of law". "Disturbing...settled environment, custody and air of living animals, including rescued animals after lawful import, may itself result in cruelty," it added.
