Case Summary: The Supreme Court disposed of Sangita Kumar's petition seeking return of Rs. 10 lakhs deposited as bail for her deceased son. The Court rejected the refund plea, holding that since the deposit was meant to compensate for environmental loss from prohibited wildlife materials recovered (meat, skin, tusks, etc.) under Wildlife Protection Act 1972 and Forest Conservation Act 1980, it must be transferred to Uttar Pradesh's Environment Protection Fund for ecological conservation purposes rather than returned to the petitioner.
