Tree pruning is not permitted in Delhi without the approval of the Tree Officer, according to the Delhi High Court.
The Delhi High Court has ruled that, regardless of the tree's girth size, the approval of the Tree Officer is required before pruning trees in Delhi under the Delhi Preservation of Trees Act, 1994 (DPT Act).
