"Rationalised" tree value must be included in all project costs to deter tree cutting, says CJI
A top court bench led by Chief Justice of India S.A. Bobde had earlier suggested that road alignments ought to be made in such a way as to reduce the number of trees that may be cut. He had also sought a report on how to assess the value of trees so that it could be monetised and factored into the project costs while making a cost benefit analysis to deter tree cutting.
