Supreme Court: The Supreme Court said on Thursday that the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation will have to take approval from the Forest Department under the Forest Conservation Act for all the trees to be cut for the expansion of the metro. At the same time, the court said that it will not accept the contention of the Central Empowered Committee appointed by it that all trees are not forests. Significantly, DMRC had applied to the Supreme Court, seeking permission for the felling of trees for the construction of the fourth phase of the metro rail project.
Hearing the petition of DMRC, a bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao, BR Gavai and BV Nagarathna said that the stand taken by the committee in this entire matter cannot be accepted. We are not ready to accept that all planted trees are not forests. It will lead to chaos. Who will decide whether a tree is planted or grown naturally?
