relocation of Cheetah with Prime Minister Modi, let us take a moment to pay our tribute to the officer who made this possible. The one person who thought about it, worked on it, drafted legisla tion, and moved the Supreme Court was Dr. MK Ranjitsinh Jhala of the 1961 batch of the IAS in the MP cadre. A scion of the erstwhile royal family of Wankaner. As collector of Mandla, he helped save the central Indian Barasingha from extinction. As secre tary, forests, and tourism, in MP, he established fourteen new sanctuaries, eight new national parks and more than doubled the area of three existing national parks, a total addition of over 9,000 sq. km. to the pro tected areas of the nation. He was the prime architect of the Wildlife (Protection) Act; was director of wildlife pres ervation twice and addition al secretary in the Ministry of Environment and Forests. He has been an integral part of several landmark projects including translocation of Asiatic Lions from Gujarat, protection of habitats of Great Indian Bustard and re introduction of Cheetah in India.The Cheetah was officially declared extinct in India in 1952. Thereafter, in 2009, the ‘African Cheetah Introduc tion Project in India’ was conceived. However, it is only after a decade of deliberation that further developments have occurred on this front. The Supreme Court set up a three-member committee to guide the reintroduction plan and to guide the reintro duction plan and gave its fi nal approval in January 2020. Subsequently, after a delay caused by the COVID-19 pan demic, the ‘Action Plan for Introduction of Cheetah in India’ was released in 2022.

The Cheetah in the Forest: A Tribute to MK Ranjitsinh
he arrival of the Cheetah on the Indian soil after seven decades is a major landmark in the conservation story of India. The very same forest which saw the complete deci mation of this species, and the near extinction of many others is now witness to a new kind of revival. It re quired political statesman ship, judicial scrutiny and oversight, diplomatic initia tive, administrative acumen, and last but not the least the professional expertise of dedicated foresters and con servationists to get the Chee tah back to the national park.
It bears mention that postindependence, the first genu ine effort towards wildlife conservation was made in 1952 with the establishment of the Indian Wildlife Board, which was constituted to cen tralize all the rules and regu lations pertinent to wildlife conservation in India, which until then differed from state to state. In 1956, this Board passed a landmark decree that accorded all existing Game Parks the status of a Sanctuary or a National Park. However, it was not until the passage of Wildlife Pro tection Act in 1972, followed by the and Project Tiger in 1973 - the largest wildlife con servation project of its timethat India’s commitment to wildlife protection received the legal, administrative, and financial backing from the Union government. This has been covered extensively in Jairam Ramesh’s book: Indira Gan dhi ~A Life in Na ture. The Act is be ing amended to make it even more effective.Butthe intro duction of the Cheetah by Prime Minister Modi in the seventy fifth year of India’s in dependence is like breaking the grav ity’s rainbow. It heralds new op portunities and possibilities. Un less the forest
While Project Tiger would be identified with the then PM Indira Gandhi, and the relocation of Cheetah with Prime Minister Modi, let us take a moment to pay our tribute to the officer who made this possible.

Interestingly, the Consti tution merely says that the appointments are to be made by the President of India in consultation with judges of the Supreme Court and high courts as may be needed. The Collegium system was put in place by the Supreme Court in 1993 and in 2019 a nine-judge bench of the court rejected a plea to re view that order. The 1993 or der was passed by a Consti tution Bench “for protecting the integrity and guarding the independence of the ju diciary”. The government, on the other hand, wants a bigger say in judges’ ap pointment probably for bet ter control over them, al though even under the pre sent system it is accused of weakening the institution.
