Directs Nilgiris Collector to inspect spot where a resort is being constructed
It is absolutely imperative that not even an inch of forest land in the State be allowed to be encroached upon by anyone, the Madras High Court observed on Wednesday. It also impressed upon the need to maintain the forest lands well without spoiling their pristine glory. First Division Bench of Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy said so while passing interim orders on a public interest litigation petition alleging encroachment of reserve forest land at Naduvattam village in Nilgiris district to build a private resort. The judges directed the Nilgiris Collector and the forest department officials to immediately visit the spot and find out whether the forest land had been encroached upon as alleged by the litigant S. Prabakaran, a local resident.
