STATE OF U.P. vs KULWANT SINGH . — SLP(C) No. 18192 - 18274/2000

On 15/11/2002, the Supreme Court heard SLP(C) No. 18192-18274/2000 filed by the State of U.P. against Kulwant Singh. The Court dismissed all petitions, finding that the Consolidation Officer, Settlement Officer, and Deputy Director of Consolidation had concurrently determined that the disputed land was not covered by the reserve forest notification under the Forest Act, 1927, a finding confirmed by the High Court. The Court held that since the land does not fall within the declared reserve forest area, the petitioner's arguments based on reserve forest law were inapplicable.
