A neighbour has complained to the Forest Department re cutting down of 2 healthy tree's which are leaning towards his house; the forest department has issue a letter stating "the said tree is 6 mtrs away from the applicants house. the said tree is bent towards the applicants house,thereby posing danger to human life and property ". Following which the village panchayat (Goa) has issued an order cum notice on 7 11/2015 directing us to cut the coconut tree within 15 days from the receipt of this notice or to show cause as to why the said order should not be enforced.
Could you please advice how to proceed on this matter
1) to stop the cutting of these perfectly healthy tree's or
2) compensation for cutting of these 2 tree's as both are fruit bearing
I do not want to go into a long legal procedure/court case ie if it can be avoided.
Thank you
