Chhattisgarh High Court verdict on Hasdeo Aranya sparks alarm over forest rights rollback

New Delhi, Oct 18 (UNI) A recent verdict by the Chhattisgarh High Court overturning forest rights granted to a village community in the Hasdeo Aranya region has ignited sharp criticism from Congress leader Jairam Ramesh.
The judgment, which cited prior land diversion for mining and claimed that the Forest Rights Act (FRA) of 2006 does not override state control over mineral resources beneath forest land, has raised fears about the erosion of indigenous rights.
Addressing the ruling on social media platform X, Ramesh voiced his strong disapproval: “In the latest of a series of unacceptable and unprecedented events since the Modani Government took power in Chhattisgarh, a single-judge Bench has set aside forest rights granted to the Ghatbarra village community under the Forest Rights Act, 2006.”
