Nitin Sethi | TNN Who is opposed to the Forest Rights Act meant to recognize rights of tribals and others over forest lands? Besides the staunch wildlife NGOs and activists, it seems the other group dead set against the Act is the retired forest officials. Now one more petition has been filed by another set of retired forest officials in the Orissa high court against the implementation of the Act. The sixth petition now sitting in the state high courts is by an ex-zamindar of the land what is now a tiger reserve and has tribals living in it.
