"Illegal" Tree-felling Case: Supreme Court Orders Delhi Police Not To Harass Petitioner

A bench of justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan issued notice on the plea filed by the petitioner alleging harassment.

The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Delhi Police not to harass a city resident who has filed a contempt plea against the DDA over "illegal" tree-felling in the Ridge forest.

A bench of justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan issued notice on the plea filed by the petitioner alleging harassment.

"We make it clear for all the authorities that no one will make any attempt to cause harassment to the petitioner only because she has filed a contempt petition and brought to the notice of this court about breach of orders of this court," the bench said.
