Re: tree cutting

Thanks for referring an interesting question of law involved in the matter. I had carefully gone into the facts narrated by you in your reference.

If tees belong to

municipality , then it is essential to take written permission from the owner thereof. If trees are cut without prior permissiion of owner of trees , it amounts theft under the provisions of Indian Penal Code.

In case you find any difficulty, please don�t hasitate to recommunicate your problem.All possible assistance will be provided you.
