The Supreme Court bench of Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justice K Vinod Chandran made it clear that the forest destroyed in Kancha Gachibowli earlier this year must be revived. “The state can have an IT park (and all) away from the place. Multiples of the trees uprooted in the area have to be planted,” the bench observed. The court was hearing its suo motu PIL initiated after reports emerged in April 2025 about large-scale deforestation in the Kancha Gachibowli region of Hyderabad.
