The Supreme Court on August 7 said that there was no reason to doubt the government on the Cheetah project that aims at the reintroduction of big cats in India. The court's observation came while hearing a petition on the death of nine cheetahs this year in MP's Kuno National Park.
In the last 11 months, 9 cheetahs have died including three cubs.
The government in the apex court denied any negligence and emphasised that foreign experts were consulted prior to making the arrangements.
The government also asserted that while challenges exist, there is no cause for alarm, according to NDTV reports.
