Bare Act

The Indian Forest (Goa Amendment) Act, 1988

This Act amends the Indian Forest Act of 1927 specifically for the state of Goa to clarify legal definitions. It updates the meaning of key terms like "tree" to include palms and bamboos, defines who a "forest officer" is, and expands the list of "forest produce" to cover a wide range of materials from plants and animals to minerals. By refining these definitions, the legislation provides clearer guidelines for the government and officials to manage and protect forest resources in Goa, ensuring the law is applied accurately and consistently.
