The Rajasthan High Court intervenes in a solar power project involving the felling of Khejri trees. Reporting from multiple outlets says the court questions the legality and propriety of proceeding with tree-cutting without following required safeguards for the trees in question. The court directs that no Khejri trees are felled for the project unless the necessary prior approval is obtained and the action complies with applicable law. One report describes the court’s remarks as calling the situation a “breathtaking irony,” reflecting concern that a project framed around clean energy proceeds in a way that harms environmentally significant trees without proper authorization. The court’s order effectively pauses or restricts the tree-felling component of the project pending compliance with legal approval requirements. The matter is treated as a test of whether project implementation follows existing regulatory procedures related to tree felling and permissions.
