In Court
Stay order: A division bench of the Gujarat High Court (HC), comprising chief justice Bhawani Singh and justice H K Rathod, recently passed an order that prevents the state's forest and revenue departments from forcibly evicting tribals staying in the Sagbara taluka of Narmada district. The HC said the directive would be in force till further orders in the matter are passed. This order was issued in response to a public interest litigation filed by the tribals staying in Sagbara and non-governmental organisation Arch Vahini. Girish Patel and Manoj Shrimali, representing the petitioners, argued that the over 2,000 tribals staying in the taluka were allotted these lands many years ago, when the area was under the control of the Sagbara estate, and so shouldn't be asked to leave.
