The Punjab Forest (Sale of Timber) Act, 1913
Environmental19135 sections
This law regulates the sale of timber and the establishment of sale depots within specific areas designated by the State Government. It empowers the government to issue rules that define which types of timber are covered, how depots must be registered and inspected, and the fees involved. By treating violations of these rules as forest offences, the Act ensures strict control over timber trade to prevent illegal logging and unauthorized sales. It also protects government officials from lawsuits when they act honestly while enforcing these regulations.
