The Supreme Court declared allotment and developments on forest land in Pune’s Kondhwa area as void, citing violation of Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980. The ruling orders restoration of land, 29 acres and 15 gunthas (one guntha is equal to 1,089 square feet). The verdict comes in response to a petition filed in 2007 by Nagrik Chetna Manch, a citizens’ group.
