In Brief

A suo moto writ petition concerning the cutting of trees was disposed of by maintaining status quo on the State's fair undertaking not to cut any further trees until the next hearing. The Court accepted the State's commitment as a reasonable interim measure to preserve the subject matter of the dispute. Additionally, the Court directed the immediate release of any persons detained in connection with the matter on personal bond, pending final resolution of the case.
