How to use this volume
Solve the paper first, under exam conditions and against the clock. Then read the answers here and mark your own. Reading a solution before attempting the question feels productive and teaches very little, because recognising an answer is not the same as being able to write one.

1.Define " Animal Article" under Wildlife (Protection Act), 1972.[2]
Answer
Definition. "Animal article" is defined in section 2(2) of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. It means an article made from any captive animal or wild animal, other than vermin.
What it includes. It also includes the following.
- Any article or object in which the whole or any part of such an animal has been used.
- Ivory imported into India, and any article made from it.
The elements.
- Made from an animal. The thing must be a manufactured article, such as a bag, a belt or a carving.
- Captive or wild animal. Both terms refer to animals listed in Schedule I or II.
- Vermin excluded. An animal notified as vermin under section 62 is outside the definition.
- Part use enough. An article only partly made of animal material is still an animal article.
Imported ivory. It was added to stop traders claiming that ivory in their stock came from abroad. Imported ivory and goods made from it are treated the same as Indian ivory.
Examples. A purse of python skin, a shahtoosh shawl made from chiru wool, a carved ivory figure, and a belt of leopard skin.
Distinguish.
- A trophy is the animal or its part preserved, such as a mounted head.
- An animal article is a product made from it.
Why it matters.
- Section 44. Manufacturing or dealing in animal articles needs a licence.
- Section 49B. Dealing in articles made from certain scheduled animals is prohibited outright.
- Section 39. Animal articles derived from animals hunted in breach of the Act become Government property.
