Kerala High Court questions the validity of the 2015 order recognising actor Mohanlal’s ownership of ivory tusks, citing lack of official gazette publication.

Kochi: A setback for actor Mohanlal and the government in the ivory case. The Kerala High Court has quashed the government order that had legalised Mohanlal’s possession of ivory, directing authorities to issue a fresh notification. The court noted a procedural lapse, pointing out that the 2015 government notification was never published in the official gazette. The ruling effectively cancelled the licence to possess ivory due to this technical oversight.
