The Tamil Nadu Preservation of Private Forests (Extension to Kanyakumari District) Act, 1979
The Tamil Nadu Preservation of Private Forests (Extension to Kanyakumari District) Act, 1979 extends the state's existing 1949 private forest protection legislation to the Kanyakumari district. It formally repeals any older, corresponding laws operating in Kanyakumari that previously regulated private forests while preserving past actions, ongoing legal proceedings, rights, and penalties accrued under those older laws. It updates legal references and administrative authorities so that state officials can effectively enforce forest conservation measures in the region. This Act ensures uniform environmental regulation across Tamil Nadu, protecting private forest lands in Kanyakumari from indiscriminate clearing or degradation.
