Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai on Wednesday (August 13, 2025) said the Telangana government has to first place on record a proposal to restore the “devastated” Kancha Gachibowli forest before the Supreme Court moves to expunge adverse remarks against the State and pay it some real compliments.

Chief Justice Gavai said “we want the environment to be protected. You can have your IT Park somewhere else. We want all the trees in the devastated forest to be replanted… Then we will remove all our ‘compliments’ and pay you some real compliments… We too want a happy ending”.
