2. Since the experts from the Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun are working in coordination with the T.T.D. and have also inspected the area and made some recommendation, which the T.T.D. states have been followed in its letter and spirit, we feel that no further directions for the time being are required to be issued and that the recommendations and directions of the experts be followed in letter and spirit with a view to prevent any human and animal conflict in future.
3. Be that as it may, we close these proceedings with liberty to the petitioner to approach this Court again in case the situation so warrants.
4. Accordingly, the Writ Petition (PIL) is closed. No order as to costs.
Miscellaneous Petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
