Hence new lease document and lease rent document were prepared and accordingly Symbiosis Institute had deposited lease rent\u00a0 till 1995.<\/li>\n
  4. That Deputy Conservator of Forests, Pune division had cancelled the lease deed\u00a0 vide letter no. B\/desk-3\/ land\/1437 dated 18-8-1999<\/a> and not accepted the lease rent from the Symbiosis society, because of provisions of section 2(3) of Forest Conservation Act 1980.<\/li>\n
  5. Section 2(3) of FC Act reads as follows:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
