      Solution

      Section 11(1) of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 allows the Chief Wildlife Warden to permit hunting of a wild animal under specific circumstances such as: β€’ If it becomes dangerous to human life or is disabled or diseased beyond recovery. β€’ For scientific, educational, or management purposes. β€’ If it is a man-eater and poses danger to human life. However, this does not apply to animals listed in Schedule I unless in extraordinary situations and after proper authorization. Relevant Provision: β€’ Section 11(1) – Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 β€’ Schedule I animals enjoy the highest level of protection and cannot be hunted except in very rare and specific conditions.
