JUDGMENT : 1. Mr. Harish Salve, learned amicus curiae takes notice of the application and prays for a short time to file the reply. He submits that the reply shall be filed by Monday, the 20th July, 1998. 2. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, it appears appropriate to us to direct the Committee headed by Shri R.B. Lai to advise us whether the purpose for which this application has been filed namely to cut one or two live trees which contain sap per ha. to catch sal borers beetles can be served by permitting cutting of Category-II trees, in which we are told by the learned amicus curiae sap is also available. 3. In case the Category-II trees can serve the purpose, the Committee shall permit the felling of such trees to the minimum extent possible under their supervision. However, if the Committee is of the opinion that the felling of Category II trees should not serve the purpose and trees of some other category are required to be felled to achieve the objective, they may inform this Court by Monday, the 20th July, 1998, and if necessary then by Fax addressed to the Registrar General of this Court. 4. Post on Tuesday, the 21st July, 1998 at 2.00 p.m. for further orders.
