State Must Prioritise Pygmy Hog Reintroduction as a Statutory Wildlife Conservation Obligation

Nyaya Host · Intro

Aaj ki debate ka motion hai: 'State Must Prioritise Pygmy Hog Reintroduction as a Statutory Wildlife Conservation Obligation' — yani kya rajya sarkar par yeh ek vidhi-sammat dayitva hai ki woh Pygmy Hog jaise critically endangered species ki punah-sthapana ko apni wildlife conservation policy mein topmost priority de. Is mahatvapoorna sawaal par dono taraf ke counsel apne tark rakhenge, aur main unhe sunkar ek balanced legal suggestion dungi. Toh ab main Counsel Aarav ko amantrит karti hoon ki woh apna paksh rakhna shuru karein.

Aarav Paksh · For

My lord, main yeh establish karna chahta hoon ki Pygmy Hog — Sus salvanius — ek critically endangered species hai, aur Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 ke Section 29-2 ke antargat yeh species Schedule mein explicitly listed hai, jo State par ek statutory obligation create karta hai ki woh is species ke sanrakshan ko priority de — koi discretion nahi, koi vikalp nahi. Aur A5 ke tahat Assam ko 25th January 1977 se hi is Act ka poora applicable jurisdiction prapt hai, isliye Assam ka State yeh nahi keh sakta ki unpar koi binding dayitva nahi — kanoon unhe seedha pakad raha hai. Main tark karunga ki reintroduction sirf ek policy suggestion nahi, balki ek statutory conservation obligation hai jise State ko fulfill karna hi hoga.

Bina Vipaksh · Against

My lord, main is motion ka poora vipaksh karti hoon — aur paksh ki yeh buniyaadi galti samajhti hoon ki woh 'statutory obligation' ka dawa kar raha hai jab ki Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 ki Schedule mein Pygmy Hog ka zikr protection ke liye hai, reintroduction ko State par mandatory karne ke liye nahi. Section 29-2, jisme Sus salvanius listed hai, sirf hunting aur capture par rok lagata hai — woh State ko reintroduction ka koi compellable legal duty nahi deta; ek listed species aur ek statutory reintroduction obligation mein fark hota hai, aur paksh in dono ko gada-mada kar raha hai.

Aarav Paksh · Rebuttal

My lord, vipaksh ki dalil sirf procedural hai — lekin main kehna chahta hoon ki Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 ki Section 29-2 ke antargat Pygmy Hog (Sus salvanius) ko specifically Schedule mein place kiya gaya hai, jo is State ka yeh statutory obligation banaata hai ki woh is species ki suraksha aur punasthaapana ko priority de. Aur jab Assam mein yeh Act Section 4 ke zariye 25th January 1977 se lagu hua — vide G.S.R. 33(E) — tab se hi State ke upar yeh zimmedari bindhi hui hai. Isliye reintroduction koi vaikalpik kadam nahi, balki ek kanuuni dayitva hai jise State nazarandaaz nahi kar sakta.

Bina Vipaksh · Rebuttal

My lord, paksh ne jo argument diya hai woh sirf ek species ke liye sympathy jagaata hai — lekin statutory obligation ka koi concrete foundation nahi deta. Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 ke Section 4 ke antargat Assam mein Act ka extension G.S.R. 33(E) dated 25th January 1977 se hua tha — iska seedha matlab yeh hai ki State ka jurisdiction established hai, lekin jurisdiction hona aur reintroduction ko statutory priority banana do alag cheezein hain; Act mein aise koi mandatory reintroduction obligation ka express provision nahi diya gaya. Main yeh maanti hoon ki Pygmy Hog ek critically endangered species hai, lekin 'prioritisation as statutory obligation' ka claim di gayi authorities se establish nahi hota — isliye motion ko is aadhar par reject kiya jaana chahiye.

Nyaya Host · Suggestion

Petitioner-side ka kehna hai ki Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 ke Section 29 aur Section 4 ke tahat Assam mein Pygmy Hog ke liye State par ek statutory zimmedari banti hai jo reintroduction ko mandatory banati hai — jabki Respondent-side ka tark hai ki yeh policy ka mamla hai, koi enforceable statutory obligation nahi. Dono pakshon ki dalilon ko sunte hue, meri balanced legal suggestion yeh rahegi ki State Government Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 ke Section 4 ke tahat Assam ke liye specifically extended provisions aur Section 29 ke scheduled species protections ko milaakar ek time-bound Pygmy Hog Reintroduction Action Plan banaye — kyunki Sus salvanius schedule mein explicitly listed hai, is liye 'discretionary policy' ka tark kamzor padta hai. Ab main citizens se kehna chahungi ki is debate ko rate karen aur bataayen ki unke hisaab se kaun sa paksh zyada persuasive raha.
