    Case Summary: WP(C)/980/2026 The petitioners, claiming century-old seasonal grazing rights in Hirpora Wildlife Sanctuary, challenged communications from the Tehsildar Shopian and Range Officer that restricted their entry based on an alleged illegal encroachment complaint. The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir disposed of the petition, finding that an alternate statutory remedy existed under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, and directed the petitioners to approach the Collector (not the court) for determination of their grazing rights, as the Collector is the appropriate authority under Section 19 of the Act. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
