Same could be done by MP authorities with captive Asiatic lions if Gujarat continues to display stubbornness...finally it will get a middle finger... Maybe the First Minister of Madhya Pradesh has to see this video or we can give them the official website of Centre for re-introduction of Persian leopards close to Sochi, he has to contact them:

You see that tree beautiful Russian ladies on the bottom - the left one is the director of that organization. Why you don't write a letter to MP First minister? Soon humans will be able to teach captive cats how to hunt.

Maybe someday it'll ultimately come to that. It has been under consideration (#314).

"The contempt petition was filed in the SC which was heard in March this year and the government said that a committee meeting will be held in a week’s time based on which the SC did not take any further action. It is three months since the SC hearing but till now there is no indication of any progress.”

Wildlife activist Ajay Shankar Dubey, who filled contempt petition in March, plans to file another one.

Now the Gujarat government is keen on moving lions to newer sanctuaries within the state from human dominated revenue lands after several lion harrassment debacles. (Source)

“We are considering the translocation of lions but within the state. We have already identified new alternative sanctuaries; one in Porbandar called the Barda Sanctuary and one near Rajkot named Rampura Sanctuary. As of now we are building a prey base for lions in these sanctuaries. Once we have enough game to go around for the lions, the wild cats will be moved out.”
-Dushyant Vasavda, Chief Conservator of Forests.
