Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's son Anant Ambani gets a new guest, it will live in...
New guest has arrived at Anant Ambani's house: In a significant development for the Ambani family and more specifically Anant Ambani, the Bombay High Court approved the relocation of Mahadevi, an ailing elephant currently in Kolhapur, to the Radhe Krishna Elephant Welfare Trust, a specialised elephant care centre in Jamnagar. Notably, the Radhe Krishna Elephant Welfare Trust, supported by Anant Ambani's Vantara initiative, is known for its dedicated care, veterinary expertise, and expansive natural enclosures.
The specialised elephant care centre of Anant Ambani has been notably designed to offer long-term rehabilitation. As per a report by news agency ANI, the move comes in response to concerns raised over her health and overall well-being. Who's the new guest at Anant Ambani's Vantara?
Reports presented to the court indicated that Mahadevi was suffering from severe injuries and needed a better environment to heal and thrive. After reviewing her condition and the available facilities, the High Court concluded that her best chance at healing lies in a sanctuary purpose-built for elephant care. How Mahadevi was transferred to Anant Ambani's Vantara?
Invoking the parens patriae principle to safeguard the rights of the 'voiceless and hapless Mahadevi', in its ruling, the court said, 'We have considered and chosen the survival of the elephant and its right to quality life, over and above the rights of men to use the elephant.'
The panel also quoted the words of Lawrence Anthony from his book 'The Elephant Whisperer' to support the argument for better treatment of the elephants. This decision marks a compassionate step toward recognising the emotional and physical needs of animals who cannot voice their suffering. With this transfer, Mahadevi is expected to receive focused treatment and the peaceful surroundings essential for her recovery.
The Jamnagar-based sanctuary offers a robust ecosystem of veterinary staff, natural foraging space, and continuous care, ensuring elephants like Mahadevi are given a second chance at a dignified, comfortable life.
