    Case Summary: 100009/2021 The Kerala Forest Tribunal dismissed five consolidated original applications filed by K. Narayanankutty and others challenging the classification of their rubber plantation properties as "Ecologically Fragile Lands" (EFL). The tribunal found it lacked jurisdiction because the Forest Department, through an erratum notification dated March 4, 2023, reclassified the disputed properties as "Vested Forests" under the Kerala Private Forests Act 1971 rather than EFL—eliminating the jurisdictional basis for the tribunal's EFL dispute resolution authority. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
