The matter was also the subject of interpellation in the Provincial Legislative Council by the Hon’ble Rai Bahadur Bakhshi Sohan Lal. The popular contention was that since the trees were held to be dakhil bachh and Government had been levying land revenue for those areas, it was not open to it now to claim the proprietorship of those trees.
