Existing laws for safeguarding animals and wildlife should be made eco-centric, says Justice Jayasankaran Nambiar

The Judge of the Supreme Court of Kerala justice Jayasankaran said in a statement on Saturday that the existing laws are anthropocentric in nature to protect animals and wildlife, and that all judges can interpret these laws more properly. On the third day of the Nilgiriscapes Conference in Udhagamandalam in Nilgiris, the environmental policy and law in the Nilgiri Biosphere reserve was participating in a panel debate.

Senior lawyers BJ Krishnan and Sanjay Upadhyay’e panel, justice nambiar said: “There is no absolute truth in this world. Everything you hear is a meeting and everything you see is perspective. Therefore, when you turn the life experiences into equation, the problem should be interpreted.

Justice Nambiar said that both the law of preventing the persecution of animals dated 1960 and the 1972 anthropocentric for the Wildlife Protection Law on other species “give priority to people”. “People have a sense of domination of all other species,” he said.

The judge said that the first indeed echo -centered legislation accepted in the country was 2002, the Biodiversity Law. He pointed out that the Wildlife Protection Law has been replaced to contain more species on the recently planned species lists in accordance with the law.

‘Conflicting Concepts’

“So, we have a mixed legislation bag that we are called to interpret.

Justice Nambiar added that it is surprising that judges will differ depending on the experiences of their perspectives when they are called to interpret these laws. “So, if you really want to have a uniform application and the philosophy of laws, what you need is the re -imagination or change of our legislation that covers all these areas and covers all these areas.”
