Act of seizing possession of some forest land is known as

  • A.enforcement
  • B.encroachment
  • C.purchase
  • D.None of the above

Answer: B

Seizing possession of forest land is called encroachment.

Encroachment is the unauthorised occupation of forest land, for example for cultivation, houses or other construction, without any legal right. It is one of the major problems of forest management in India and is an offence under forest law.

Enforcement is the action taken to apply the law, the opposite of encroachment. Purchase is a lawful transfer, and forest land cannot simply be bought for private use. Since encroachment is the right term, 'None of the above' is wrong.
