Kerala HC Invalidates Actor Mohanlal's Ivory Tusk Possession Certificates

Kerala HC Invalidates Actor Mohanlal's Ivory Tusk Possession Certificates

Imagine you found a cool old coin.

To keep it legally, you usually have to tell the government you have it, especially if it's something special like an elephant tusk.

Actor Mohanlal had some elephant tusks and got papers saying he could keep them.

But, the government didn't follow the right rules when giving him these papers, like not telling everyone officially in the government's newspaper.

Because the rules weren't followed correctly, a big court said those papers aren't valid anymore.

The government might be able to fix this later by issuing new proper papers.

However, a case against Mohanlal for having the tusks without following the rules is still going on.
