Nagpur: \u00a0Chief Conservator of Forests, Nagpur circle\u2019s report dated 26-9-2009 \u00a0to Chief Conservator of Forests (Protection) Maharashtra State informing serious violation of the orders of the Supreme court & \u00a0corruption charges in renewal of saw mill licence of a non-existant saw mill, has been buried by corrupt higher officers of the Forest department to save P.N.Munde IFS the then Deputy Conservator of Forests Nagpur division.<\/p>\n
As per report submitted by CCF Nagpur dated 26-9-2009 <\/a>Saw Mill licence no. 373\/77 for 42\u201d sawmill was issued by the DCF Nagpur to Carpentary Training centre, \u00a0Bothia Palora,Zilla Parishad, Nagpur for a training centre of carpentry. \u00a0The said carpentry centre was closed by Zilla Parishad, Nagpur during 1989. For almost twenty years i.e. for 1977 to 1997 the Licence no. 373\/77 was not renewed by the DCF Nagpur. It is pertinent to note that licence as per rules is required to be renewed annually. CCF Nagpur in his report has very categorically mentioned that\u00a0 as per Rule 88(4), 88(5) & 88 (6) of Bombay Forest Rules 1942, if the licence is not renewed annually then it gets automatically gets revoked<\/strong>. He further pointed out that if such licence gets revoked then there is no provisions of renewal of such licence in the Rules.<\/strong> CCF Nagpur has also referred in his said report that the original licence no. 373\/77, which was issued to\u00a0 Carpentary Training centre,\u00a0 Bothia Palora, Zilla Parishad, Nagpur and which was lapsed & revoked in 1978, was illegally & malafidely\u00a0 renewed for twenty years in one go by P.N.Munde IFS the then DCF, Nagpur, \u00a0in serious violation of Hon\u2019ble Supreme court order dated 4-3-1997 passed in WP ( c ) 202\/1995 as well as various provisions of Bombay Forest Rules. It is a matter of extreme importance here that Zilla Parishad Nagpur has not asked for renewal of said licence no. 373\/77 . Thus it is clear that Munde has renewed this licence with ulterior motive.<\/p>\n Not only Munde renewed the licence for twenty years illegally and without authority, but\u00a0 his successor, R.N.Rai IFS<\/strong> against whom many enquiries are going on, had also transferred the said lapsed licence in the name of Avinash Basant Mahajan of M\/S Nagpur Vineer Pvt Ltd, Mahalgaon , Nagpur on 2-6-2000 in gross violation of Bombay Forest Rules & said order of the Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court of India.. \u00a0It would be pertinent to mention here that Hon\u2019ble Supreme court of India in it\u2019s order dated 4-3-1997 passed in WP 202\/1995 (see para 8 of the order dated 10-5-2006 of supreme court<\/a>) has directed as:<\/p>\n \u201cIt was pointed out by learned Amicus Curiae that this Court by order dated 4.3.1997 directed the closure of all un-licensed saw mills, veneer and plywood industries. Further by order dated 30.10.2002 it was directed that no State Government would permit the opening of any saw mill, veneer and plywood industry without the prior permission of the Central Empowered Committee (in short the `CEC`). The State of Maharashtra by I.A.414 sought permission to permit the re-opening of saw mills\/veneer and plywood industries inter alia dependent on imported timber; which permission was declined by this Court`s order dated 14th July, 2003. On enquiries made by CEC as well as learned Amicus Curiae the State Government stated that the orders of this Court will be complied with and six mills in question i.e. (i) M\/s Oriental Veneer Products Ltd. (ii) M\/s Konark Plywood Industries Ltd. (iii) M\/s Great Western Plywood Industries Ltd. (iv) M\/s Pagoda Woods Pvt. Ltd. (v) M\/s Woodmac (Bombay) Pvt. Ltd. (vi) Luckywood Products Pvt.
