The Nagaland Forest (2nd Amendment) Act, 1974

Environmental19744 sections

This law amends the Nagaland Forest Act of 1968 to give the government the power to remove people who are occupying forest reserves without permission. It also allows the removal of any crops or buildings constructed there without authority. The Act includes protections that prevent courts from hearing lawsuits or enforcing orders against the government or officials for actions taken under these new rules. This ensures that forest authorities can enforce land laws and clear unauthorized encroachments without facing legal delays or challenges, helping to protect forest resources in Nagaland.
