The State may prepare the list and file it as suggested by the C.E.C. within six weeks and the seniority list can be prepared.   
		The applicant in I.A.No.2424 submits that the paste units shall be excluded as they are not using the timber.  We make it clear that these units are generally treated as saw-mill units as they are using the forest produce.
		The applicants in I.A.Nos.2480-81 would be at liberty to approach the State authorities and place their contentions while preparing the seniority list.  The State is at liberty to file their reply/response, if any, within six weeks.

		This application has been filed on behalf of State of Gujarat seeking permission for removing gregariously flowered dead Bamboo from Purna Wildlife Sanctuary in the State.  C.E.C. has filed its recommendations indicating parameters so that it may not cause destruction to other wild species.  The following conditions are suggested by the C.E.C. :
i)The removal and use of the dead bamboo should be done strictly in accordance with the provisions of Section 29 of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972;

ii)the gregariously flowered dead bamboo should be felled and removed from the sanctuary through the Eco-development Committees under the strict supervision of the Forest Department, without causing damage to the new and regenerating clumps of bamboo;

iii)strict protection from fires and grazing should be undertaken along with proper soil and moisture/ water conservation measures to ensure regeneration of the young bamboo in the sanctuary; and

iv)the area from which dead bamboo has been removed should be regenerated by allowing natural regeneration of bamboo mixed with other associated miscellaneous species of trees to prevent recurrence of vast area of mono-culture i.e. spread of single type of vegetation-bamboo.” 

		These conditions are acceptable to the State of Gujarat.  The application is allowed, subject to fulfillment of the above conditions as imposed by C.E.C.
