New Delhi, April 28 -- The Supreme Court said on Monday that among the deer currently located at the AN Jha Deer Park in New Delhi's Hauz Khas area only 38 can be retained while the others have to be relocated to wildlife habitats in the neighbouring states, as per a report by Bar and Bench.

The case was heard by a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta. The bench accepted the report of Central Empowered Committee (CEC), which is of the opinion that the ecological capacity of the Hauz Khas deer park is not sufficient to host the current population of deer in the region.

Authorities have been directed to ensure timely relocation of the remaining deer in accordance with pre-established scientific protocols.
