JUDGMENT The case with which the petitioner has moved this Court in a public interest litigation is that the Land Management Committee of Village Udvatnagar resolved on 16 February 1997 resolved that for the purpose of plantation of trees in Tarabganj range, necessary steps be taken by the Forest Department. It has been averred that the Forest Department took possession of the land and carried out extensive plantation over a total area of 12 hectares in 1997 and 2002. On the basis of the disclosure which has been made under the Right to Information Act, 2005, it has been stated that nearly 16,200 trees were planted in Udvatnagar falling in district Gonda. However, it has now been submitted that removal of trees over the land bearing Gata Nos. 644, 710 and 714 has taken place resulting in a grave detriment to the environment. 2. The facts which have been averred in the writ petition would undoubtedly require due and proper verification. We have only referred to the pleadings in the writ petition. We are of the view that the ends of justice would be met by issuing a direction to the District Forest Officer, District Gonda to entertain the grievance which has been made on behalf of the petitioner and after due enquiry, to submit a report to the Collector and District Magistrate, Gonda within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Thereafter, based on the conclusion of the verification and enquiry, the competent authority shall determine what steps are necessary to secure compliance of law expeditiously. 3. The petition is, accordingly, disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ………………..
