Can a person cut and sell trees on reserve forest land allotted to him? Tripura High Court answers
The petitioner had approached the Tripura High Court aggrieved by the Forest Department's denial of permission to cut and sell teak trees growing on land allotted to him in 1985.
The Tripura High Court recently directed the State to either permit a petitioner to cut and sell trees growing on his land or compensate him for the same (Tarun Baidya & ors v. State of Tripura).
