Section 48A of WLPA : Section 48A: Restriction On Transportation Of Wild Life

Explanation using Example

An example of the application of Section 48A of The Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, could be a scenario where a logistics company receives a request to transport a consignment of peacock feathers, which are part of a wild animal and thus protected under the act. Before accepting the consignment for transportation, the company must ensure that the sender has obtained the necessary permission from the Chief Wild Life Warden or an authorized officer. If the company fails to verify this and transports the feathers without the required permissions, they would be in violation of Section 48A and could face legal consequences.
