At least your guidance will enable the Committee and the relevant persons to do a little more due diligence and comply with all the laws that relate to donation of public forest land for private settlement. I must mention at the outset that any title deed acquired fraudulently cannot stand the test of time no matter how long it takes. Even the so-called ‘adverse possession’ cannot hold in respect of public land. So, in this matter, it is important that our colleague advises his people properly because in this country, we have a dwindling forest cover and any chance that we have to protect the forest cover must be seized and guarded jealously."}
