Forest staff has the power to do all necessary action leading to prosecution.. and  interrogation and investigation police will prodiuuce th eguilty who broke th eForest law can be prosecuted ND PUNISHED WITH FINE OR JAIL  TERM OR BOTH ACCORDING TO WILD LIFE LAWS.  Forest staff can do this with no intervention from police.  I am not sure where did this came from Hence extrajudicial confessions  made before forest officers are valid and equivalent  to Judicial confessions.  Can you please elaborate a bit more please?

Thank you once again for your response!

Dear Kapoor Madam,

I am here in this forum, to upgrade my knowledge, seek advise and in case possible also contribute to the knowledge base within my limited capacity.  I am certainly not here for any wild goose chase that you are suggesting me to.  If you had read my original post I have mentioned about the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 and provisions thereoff.  My querry was based on THAT act.  It is an Indian Act.  I am sure you know that India is goverened by Indian Acts and not US Acts.

I am not sure and neither interested in knowing what powers US forest officials have but I am confident enough that Indian Forest Officials are adquately empowered to not only carry out investigations but to file their Complaints to the Magistrate and does not require any intervention from the Police whatsoever.

Please kindly avoid misdirecting ameture people like me and contribute when you have enough understanding of the matter which in this case is WPA, 1972 .

Regards

Rahul
