Supreme Court stays Madras HC order stalling press communique on Forest Amendment Bill

The Supreme Court on June 2 stayed an order of the Madras High Court which had put on hold a press communique issued by the Centre inviting suggestions on the Forest (Conservation) Amendment Bill, 2023, in either English or Hindi.

A Bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Pankaj Mithal took note of the submission by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta that the Lok Sabha Secretariat shall proceed to publish the Tamil Version of the Bill by June 5 so as to enable objections by the petitioner in the case.

“In view of the aforesaid, there shall be a stay of the order of the High Court. Issue notice,” the Bench said.
