If the said tree was in the premises of your property then, you can file a complaint for theft under section 378 in the nearest police station. And it is not legal to cut any tree until and unless they have permission of the owner and the forest department along with the municipal corporation. You may file a complaint against them in the nearest tribunal as well as with forest department regarding this issue
