- The Supreme Court proposed a tree census to be conducted by the Tree Authority in the national capital by employing the Forest Survey of India (FSI).
- It also said that the tree Officers should not be allowed to give indiscriminate permissions to fell trees.
- Every permission granted by an official to cut 50 or more trees in the national capital under the trees act-1994, would be first vetted and cleared by the Central Empowered Committee (CEC).
- No trees would be cut until the CEC gave the final go-ahead.
- The CEC is empowered to reject permission or modify the order to cut trees.
- If an officer delays the decision beyond the 60 days’ period, the applicant concerned was free to deem to have been permitted to cut the trees.
