Resumen

This Act aims at protecting timber activity within the territory of Azad Kashmir. It specifies that all timber lying in or passing through the liberated area by land or by river shall be deemed to be the property of the Azad Kashmir Government unless it is proved to the contrary by a claim and through cogent documentary evidence. Any officer of the Forest, Police or Customs Department may seize any timber lying in or passing through the Azad Kashmir Territory if the timber is possessed or is being exported without proper authority. Any officer who has seized timber in exercise of his powers shall submit a report immediately to the Forest Department. If a claimant proves that the timber seized lawfully belongs to him, the Divisional Forest Officer shall release the timber. If no claim is preferred within three months from the date of seizure the timber shall be finally deemed to be the property of the Azad Kashmir Government and shall be dealt with as such. If any person resists the seizure of any timber shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years or with fine or with both.
