casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: SLP(Crl) No. 11563/2025 The Supreme Court dismissed the State of Jharkhand's Special Leave Petitions challenging a High Court order concerning allegations that respondent Pankaj Kumar Singh illegally cut trees in protected forest areas despite having permission only for trees on private land. The Court found no interference warranted after reviewing the petitioners' own rejoinder affidavit, which revealed the allegedly cut trees were not removed but remained at the site, with the Government subsequently holding departmental officers responsible and instituting cases against them. The petitions were dismissed on both grounds of inordinate delay in filing and lack of merit. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
