Criminal contempt over ridge tree felling
The Morning Standard
|May 17, 2024
IN a scathing rebuke on the conduct of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), the Supreme Court on Thursday issued a criminal contempt notice against the authority's vice-chairman Subhasish Panda for allowing extensive felling of trees in the southern Ridge's Satbari area to construct a road from Chhattarpur to SAARC University.
-
A bench of Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan expressed dissatisfaction over the misleading affidavit filed by Panda, highlighting the presentation of incorrect statements before court. The court also mandated the planting of 100 new trees for each tree felled by the civic agency.
Justice Oka criticised the DDA's affidavit, stating, "I have never seen a body misrepresenting facts and filing wrong affidavits... There has to be some limit, never before seen."
