SENTHIL VEL, EXPERT MEMBER Applicant: Mr.

Ranjeet Singh Chauhan, Applicant in Person (Through VC) ORDER 1.

In this original application, Applicant, a practicing advocate, has has prayed for following reliefs: “(a) Direct Respondent herein in number all the trees in urban area of Distt.

Faridabad and/or; (b) Constitute committee chaired by Chief Conservator of Forests, Govt. of Haryana to take remedial action to ensure protection of trees in the absence of State Tree Preservation Act like The Delhi Tree Preservation Act in State of Haryana and/or; (c) To sought detail report regarding issues raised in Annexure P- 1 to P-7 and/or; (d) Pass any order/relief in favor of the applicant as deemed fit and proper under the circumstances and in the interest of Justice.” 2.

Submission of the applicant is that an issue relating to concretization of trunks and roots of trees was raised and the respondents had sent the response, Annexure P-2.

Perusal of the said response reveals that the concrete surrounding the trees, trunks and roots was removed.

2 3.

During the course of arguments, Applicant has referred to annexures which are relating to year 2010 and he has not been able to point out any current violation in respect of cutting or damaging of tree.

We also find that the prayer made in the OA is vague.

4.

In the circumstances, we dismiss the OA, however, making it clear that this dismissal will not come in the way of Applicant to approach the Tribunal again with proper pleading and adequate material supporting the plea.
