As per case facts, 133 Petitioners challenged a notice for eviction from their residential plots in villages under Lutumai Reserved Forest, Nagaon District, where they claimed long-term residence with permission. ... This challenge arose after the High Court's directions led to eviction notices, prompting an appeal to the Supreme Court. The question arose regarding the fair and lawful removal of unauthorized occupation from reserved forest areas, particularly concerning the State's policy and procedural safeguards. Finally, the Supreme Court upheld the State's policy to remove unauthorized occupations from reserved forests, directing the constitution of a committee of forest and revenue officials. This committee is to issue notices, allow occupants to present evidence of their right to occupy, and issue speaking orders after scrutinizing documents. Status quo must be maintained until the speaking order is passed and a 15-day notice period for vacation expires.
