Three months after the National Green Tribunal (NGT) held that the 52-acre plot in the Faridabad Aravalis’ Sarai Khwaja village, where more than 7,000 trees were felled in 2017 for a group housing project being developed by Bharti Land Limited, is a “deemed forest,” the Haryana government has moved the Supreme Court pleading that NGT’s order is “erroneous in law” and should be quashed.
