MP HC Orders Planting 25 Fruit Trees

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has taken a significant step towards environmental conservation. In a recent hearing, the court disposed of two petitions seeking a ban on tree felling in the state. Instead of imposing a direct ban, the court has directed the petitioners to take a proactive approach. The petitioners have been instructed to plant 25 fruit trees each before the court considers their plea. This move aims to promote afforestation and compensate for the loss of trees due to felling. By doing so, the court hopes to strike a balance between development and environmental protection.
