Headnote | Forest Conversation Act, 1980: Leasehold land, a reserved forest land - Non-renewal of lease by the· State · Government - Challenged - Held: The leasehold land in question was surrounded by thick forest in East Aletty Reserved Forest land which was near to the boundary o( Kerala and Karnataka State - Extending the period of tease in respect of the 'said area was likely cause problems for the movement of men and vehicles - Lessees had already raised Areca, Coconut and Cashew trees on the 'leasehold lands and those trees were fully developed and in the event of extending the lease period, it was likely that the lessee would commence fresh cultivation on the land in question - The intention or the Government was to develop naturally grown forests over the lands which could only be done if the possession was taken by the Government - By virtue of the 1980 Act, no State Government or other authority could pass an order or give a direction for de-reservation of reserved forest or any portion thereof or permit use of any forest land or any portion thereof for any non-forest purpose or grant any lease, etc. in respect of forest land to any private person or any authority, corporation, agency or organisation which was not owned, managed or controlled by the Government - Even if any forest land or any portion thereof has been used for non-forest purpose, like undertaking of mining activity for a particular length of time, prior to the enforcement of the 1980 Act, the tenure of such activity cannot be extended by way of renewal of lease or otherwise after 25-10-1980 without obtaining prior approval of the Central Government - State Government rightly refused the claim of lessee to renew the lease |
