The Supreme Court established guidelines for the monetary valuation of trees in Kashmir, applying the principles to the Chinar trees of Naseem Bagh. A committee found that the monetary worth of a tree was based on its age, valued at 74,500 rupees per year of age. The guidelines were set in India for the first time regarding tree valuation, noting that Naseem Bagh holds nearly 35,400 Chinar trees.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The guidelines establish a high-value regulatory standard for environmental assets, noting that a heritage tree with a lifespan over 100 years could be valued at more than ₹1 crore. This ruling was made while hearing a case concerning the cutting down of 356 trees for construction projects in West Bengal.
