Abstract

This Act amends the Balochistan Forest Regulation 1890. Amendments establish the insertion of Section 12-A related to requirements to perform cutting, removal and sale of Juniper tree. It provides that nothing shall be deemed to be an offence under this section when done with the permission in writing of the prescribed authority or in accordance with rules framed or in force under the Forest Act, 1927. Any Forest Officer, Police Officer, Risaldar of the Levies, or any In-charge of a Levies Post may search any means of transport used for the offence; he may also search firewood stalls, or any other place where he has reason to believe that Juniper wood is placed in contravention of the provision of this section, and may seize any such wood.
