ORDER : C.K. Thakker, J. I.A. No.13: 1. This application is being adjourned from time to time considering the special conditions prevailing in the State of Manipur in relation to it being a disturbed area. Because of the special conditions, the State Government was granted exemption from complying with the orders of this Court for supply of fire arms to foresters. The exemption granted will continue until further orders till the situation improves in the State of Manipur whereupon the State will supply fire arms to the foresters and inform this Court accordingly by filing an affidavit. 2. The interlocutory application is disposed of accordingly. I.A. No.33: 3. The Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife in its meeting dated 6th April, 2005, accepted the recommendation of the sub-committee for permitting the project in respect whereof this application relates to, subject to the five conditions. In respect of Condition Nos.1, 4 and 5, the matter can be sorted out by this Court as there does not appear to be much of dispute. In respect of Condition Nos.2 and 3, affidavits have been filed on behalf of the State of Maharashtra, both by the Water Resources Department as also by the Forest Department. In our view, the Government of India has rightly suggested that the matter may be referred to the Standing Committee to re-consider the conditions in the light of the stand taken by the State Government on the aforesaid two conditions and on receipt of the fresh recommendations either modifying or affirming these conditions, the order may be passed by this Court. It is ordered accordingly. The Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife would consider Condition Nos.2 and 3 afresh after taking into account all relevant facts, including the stand of the State of Maharashtra and file its recommendations. The matter may be placed before the Standing Committee in its next meeting. 4. List the application after the receipt of the recommendations of the Standing Committee. I.A. No.37: 5.

Condition No.1 relating to deposit of five per cent of the project cost or Rupees one crore for conservation works within the Sanctuary is subject to the further orders that may be passed by this Court. It is acceptable to the applicant. 6. The seventh condition is that since, on observation, it has been found that Nigam had constructed a power house in Village Jumma Tehsil Pithoragarh after the order of this Court was passed in the year 2000, explanation may be called for as it may be in violation of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, and Forest (Conservation) Act. The Minutes are dated 6th April, 2005. There is nothing on record to show as to what transpired in the last over one year. The learned counsel for the State Government submits that the explanation was sent to the Standing Committee but nothing further has been heard.

For this limited purpose, the interlocutory application is adjourned. I.A. No.91: 7. The matter is directed to be examined by the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife. 8.
