Environmental196812 sections
This Act amends the Indian Forest Act, 1927 to apply specifically to the state of Himachal Pradesh and the territories merged into it in 1956. It updates the law by changing definitions, such as replacing carts with vehicles, and modifying voting requirements for timber share owners. The legislation also clarifies how the government can recover money owed for timber and fines, treating these amounts as land revenue arrears. Additionally, it validates historical forest settlements made before 1954 to ensure legal continuity and repeals previous amendments while saving existing rights and legal proceedings.
