Supreme Court rebukes Uttarakhand govt for ignoring forest encroachments, demands urgent action.
On January 5, 2026, the Supreme Court criticized the Uttarakhand government for years of inaction on widespread forest land encroachments in hill districts, expressing shock at officials’ passivity despite clear evidence of illegal occupation.
The court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi, demanded a detailed counter affidavit within two weeks, including site plans and construction details, and stressed that all executive officials are accountable for negligence.
It rejected procedural delays as justification, emphasizing urgency in addressing the issue since Uttarakhand’s formation in 2000.
The court had previously ordered an inquiry, barred new construction, and directed land recovery.
