New Delhi, March 19: The Supreme Court on Thursday quashed an FIR and subsequent proceedings against YouTuber Elvish Yadav under the Wildlife (Protection) Act in the snake venom case registered by Uttar Pradesh Police in 2023.
The top court said the case cannot be sustained in law as the complaint under the Wildlife (Protection) Act was not filed by an authorised person.
It said that offences under the IPC invoked in the FIR against Yadav were based on an earlier FIR registered in Gurugram, in which a closure report has been filed. (PTI)
