As activists on both sides argue their case on the SC order on eviction of encroachers whose claims have been rejected under the FRA, an explanation of key issues: from dwindling forest cover to bogus claims.

On February 28, the Supreme Court put on hold its February 13 order directing states to evict tribals and other forest-dwellers whose claims over encroached forest land had been rejected under the law that recognises these rights and provides a framework for recording them.

Following protests, the Union Tribal Affairs Ministry and the Gujarat government had sought a modification of the court’s February 13 direction. These protests are ongoing — on Tuesday, large demonstrations took place across the country for demands that included promulgation of an ordinance to overturn the Supreme Court’s order.

The February 13 order came on a challenge to The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 — commonly known as The Forest Rights Act (FRA) — filed by three wildlife NGOs. The court directed 17 states that had filed affidavits on claims rejected under the Act (adding up to a total of 11,91,327 claims) to ensure that in all cases “where rejection orders have been passed, eviction will be carried out on or before the next date of hearing”.
