    Summary The Chhattisgarh High Court disposed of 16 consolidated writ petitions challenging eviction notices for forest land encroachment, holding that while no blanket liberty exists to illegally occupy reserved forest, the landless petitioners must first pursue statutory remedies under the Forest Rights Act, 2006 before eviction. The court stayed coercive action for 30 days, directing petitioners to apply through prescribed authorities (Gram Sabha and multi-level committees) for settlement consideration, balancing the State's welfare duty with proper legal process. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
