India's Supreme Court is to review the fate of 300 monkeys captured roaming on the streets of the capital, Delhi.
For years the wild animals have caused havoc, riding on the city's metro trains, roaming through parliament.
They have invaded the prime minister's office and the Defence Ministry, helping themselves to top secret military files.
They cannot be killed because many Indians see them as sacred.
Some 250 monkeys have already been relocated by a court order to forests in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
But many people there are now objecting, saying the animals are bringing with them their hooligan habits learnt in the city and are terrorising rural villages.
