High Court directive on claims under forest dwellers Act [1]

The Madras High Court has said if claims are made for community rights or rights to forest land and applications are submitted under the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, the process of verification of the claim could go on, but, before the certificate of title is issued, court orders should be obtained.
