Additionally, the apprehension that she might not be available for trial appeared well-founded.<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Upon receipt of information and consequent investigation, the forest officials found the accused herein and her co-accused involved in poaching and trafficking of pangolin and other wild animals. Accordingly, a case was registered against them under Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001566251\" target=\"_blank\">2(16)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001566360\" target=\"_blank\">9<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001566291\" target=\"_blank\">39<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001566298\" target=\"_blank\">44<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001566304\" target=\"_blank\">49<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001566309\" target=\"_blank\">50<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001566310\" target=\"_blank\">51<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001566312\" target=\"_blank\">52<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001566317\" target=\"_blank\">57<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002835349\" target=\"_blank\">Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972<\/a>, and she was arrested.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">When the accused was produced before the trial court for transit remand, she was granted interim bail for 15 days and directed to surrender before the enquiry\/investigation officer of the Tiger Strike Force Office, Narmadapuram, within 15 days. However, she did not comply with the interim bail order, and accordingly, a non-bailable warrant was issued. Aggrieved, the accused sought anticipatory bail from the Court of Session, which was dismissed, and her anticipatory bail application filed before the coordinate Bench of this Court was also dismissed. Finally, she was arrested on 2 December 2025.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Hence, the present application.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2025\/12\/23\/chhattisgarh-hc-takes-suo-motu-cognizance-illegal-tiger-poaching-revti-forest\/\" target=\"_blank\">Severe injuries and missing nails, teeth: Chhattisgarh HC takes suo motu cognizance of illegal tiger poaching in Revti Forest, seeks response from Principal Chief Conservator<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Analysis<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">At the outset, the Court remarked that the matter indeed involved an international gang of poachers and traffickers of wildlife animals like pangolin. The record suggested prima facie involvement of the accused in the crime. Moreso, the apprehension of the State that she might not remain available for trial appeared to be well-founded. Thus, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the gravity of the offence, the Court dismissed the bail application.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/03\/26\/nhai-tiger-corridor-case-mp-hc-seeks-assistance-from-ntca-wildlife-board\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tiger Corridor at risk?
