Supreme Court orders Maharashtra govt to respond by Aug 13 on forest land payments and compensation, warns of Chief Secretary's appearance if not complied.

The Supreme Court criticized the Maharashtra government for not filing its response on payments due to the construction of buildings in forest land and compensation for the affected private party. The top court pointed to the state's funding for schemes such as 'Ladli Behna' and 'Ladka Bhau' but not for land loss compensation. The court gave the state until August 13 to respond and warned that the Chief Secretary would be required to appear in court if the order wasn't complied with.
