Attacks by wild animals indicate state’s failure to protect right to life.
Observing that the state is obligated to protect wildlife and its citizens from any injury caused by wild animals, the Bombay High Court on Monday directed the Maharashtra government to pay Rs 10 lakh compensation to a woman whose husband died after a wild boar rammed his motorcycle.
It added that if any wild animal causes injury to a person, it indicates the state government’s failure to protect the right to life guaranteed under the Constitution.
“It is necessary to note that it is the duty of the concerned officer of the state government to protect wild animals and not allow them to wander outside the restricted safety zone.
Similarly, as a corollary duty, it is also the obligation cast upon the concerned officers to protect citizens from any injuries by wild animals.
Thus, it is a twin obligation of the state government,” the bench observed.
