The report was filed before the first bench of Chief Justice Indira Banerjee and Justice M Sundar on Friday, in response to a PIL from advocate V Meganathan, who sought to restrain the authorities from drastically removing Karuvelam trees and also to direct the government to constitute a committee of experts to study the alleged ill-effects.

If it is submerged in water for over six months, it would die automatically. The 10 year pre- and post-monsoon data relating to the rise and fall of ground water in the State clearly indicated that Seemai Karuvelam has no direct impact on the depletion of groundwater, the report claimed.
