The Tribunal directed the Project Proponent that the necessary plantation must be done to maintain the ecology in the area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Even after villagers&#8217; protests, illegal cutting of trees was allowed at the instance of proponents, and cutting is still continuing with the intervention of police Authorities. The coal mining project was allotted to the Rajasthan State Electricity Corporation, which entered into an agreement with the Government and Adani and is proceeding with the project by cutting down trees illegally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">After cognizance, the Tribunal constituted a committee to submit the factual and action taken report. The Tribunal perused the Committee&#8217;s report which stated that the Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited had applied for the diversion of 1898.328 ha of forest land (1654.109 ha of revenue forest land and 244.219 ha of notified forest land) located in villages Parsa and Kete Bason, District Surguja for captive coal block open cast mining. The Divisional Forest Officer, Surguja, provided the details of tree felling for Phase I and Phase II of the PEKB coal mine block. 15307 trees were felled in the year 2022-23 till 2024.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Tribunal also noted that by government order dated 02-02-2020 proposal for non- forestry use of the land was sanctioned. Hence, the Tribunal held that there was no violation by the project proponents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Anita v.
