Victory for Forest Rights: Allahabad HC recognises land claims of Tharu Tribes, strikes down decision of DLC
The Allahabad High Court recently struck down a 2021 decision of the District Level Committee (DLC), Lakhimpur upholding the land rights of the Tharu tribe while observing that the authorities cannot short-circuit the existing statutory rights of the forest dwellers by blindly relying on court orders issued before the enactment of the Forest Rights Act, 2006 (FRA, 2006). This law recognises the individual and community rights of Adivasis.
