ESG's PIL (W.P.No. 7107/2008) filed in the Karnataka High Court in May 2008 on tree felling in Bangalore due to road widening

This Writ Petition arrays a range of legal concerns relating to the ongoing road widening programme in Bangalore and exposes that such actions are opposed to settled legal norms relating to management and conservation of urban greenery. In addition it is submitted that the road widening programmes are being advanced without any due public consultation even when a variety of rights of the public and certain traditional and customary rights are adversely affected.
