NOC for tree felling / Transplantation
The Delhi Preservation of Trees Act, 1994 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”) regulates the felling of trees in NCT of Delhi. The object of the Act is to preserve the trees and not to permit cutting or felling of the trees, unless necessary. Considering the object of the Act, it is evident that the permission for felling or cutting of the trees can be granted only by way of an exception and not in a routine manner. The provisions of the Act reiterate the public trust doctrine, which enjoins the State to protect the natural resources, including the trees.
