Why did the Karnataka HC quash the cancellation of registration of Centre for Wildlife Studies under FCRA
Discuss the legal reasoning and implications associated with the High Court's decision to revoke the cancellation of the wildlife center's registration under FCRA.
- The Karnataka High Court quashed the cancellation of the registration of the Centre for Wildlife Studies under FCRA on the grounds of procedural irregularities and lack of proper opportunity for the center to present its case.
- The court held that the cancellation order was passed without giving the center a chance to respond to the show-cause notice, which violated principles of natural justice.
- The High Court's decision signifies the importance of following due process and providing a fair hearing before revoking registrations under FCRA.
- Implications include setting a precedent for protecting the rights of organizations registered under FCRA and ensuring proper procedures are followed before any punitive actions are taken.
