‘Fake permission’: Delhi forest dept to Supreme Court on tree felling in Ridge area; forged document used for Vasant Kunj housing project

The Delhi forest department informed the Supreme Court about a fraudulently issued permission for tree felling in Vasant Kunj's Ridge area, prompting an FIR request. Despite the ecological sensitivity and a 1996 Supreme Court order requiring permission, construction occurred. The court issued a show-cause notice for potential contempt of court, with a hearing scheduled for July 21.
