IN THE COURT OF THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE AT PUDUCHERRY

Present : Dr. S.B. DEEPAK KUMAR, I.A.S.,

District Magistrate, Puducherry.

M.C. No. 3/2013

ORDER UNDER SECTION 144 OF Cr. P.C.

Whereas, the Revenue Complex, situated at Pudupalayam Revenue Village, Puducherry has different multi faceted function viz., Office of the Head of Revenue Administration, Office of the District Magistrate, Office of the District Collector, Office of the District Election Officer, Office of the District Census Officer, etc., and is one of the top level office in the Puducherry which is situated in the Revenue Complex, Saram, Puducherry;

And whereas, apart from the Collectorate, Office of the Deputy Collector (Revenue) North, Puducherry, Court of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (North), Puducherry, Directorate of Survey and Land Records, Puducherry, Department of Planning and Research and Directorate of Economics and Statistics, etc., are situated in the campus of Revenue Complex, Saram, Puducherry;

And whereas, the said campus is not provided with safe compound walls and the access control in the abovesaid Government buildings is also very limited;

And whereas, political parties, various organisations, agriculturists, labourers, students and Government servants very often resort to demonstrations, etc., and at time, reach up to the building/offices, thereby threatening the security of the said buildings and officers in the buildings and such scenario encourages the agitators to conduct snap demonstrations with their available strength before the abovesaid offices suddenly, which creates disorder and chaos;

And whereas, several incidents brought to my knowledge that the unruly agitators do not care about the normal functioning of the Government offices, by gathering unlawfully inside the offices and resort to conducting dharna, agitation before the chambers of the higher officials and causing inconvenience to public and hence for the maintenance of public order and smooth functioning of Government offices;

And whereas, it appears to me that the conduct of demonstration, dharna, picketing, hunger strike etc., by raising violent slogans against Government within the periphery of 200 mts. surroundings of the Collectorate may likely to cause obstruction and hindrance to the Government officials as well as the public;

And whereas, I am of the opinion that there is sufficient grounds for p r o c e e d i n g u n d e r s e c t i o n 1 4 4 o f t h e C o d e o f C r i m i n a l P r o c e d u r e , 1 9 7 3 , to prohibit the action by any means of unlawful assembly for the purpose of conducting demonstration, dharna, hunger strike, picketing, etc. by political parties, organisations, associations of Government employees, labour unions, agriculturists, fishermen, students or unorganised gathering, etc., and also to carry any type of placards, banners, flags, sticks etc. within the periphery of 200 mts. surroundings of the Revenue Complex, Puducherry;

Now, therefore, I, Dr. S.B. Deepak Kumar, I. A.S., District Magistrate, Puducherry, do hereby prohibit the conduct of demonstration, dharna, hunger strike, picketing, etc., by various political parties, organisations, associations of Government employees, labour unions, agriculturists, fishermen, students or unorganised gathering, etc., and also to carry any type of placards, banners, flags, sticks, etc., within the periphery of 200 mts. surroundings of the Revenue Complex, Puducherry with immediate effect.

This ban shall not be applicable to Government function, funeral processions and any other activities proposed by the Government Departments;

This order shall be valid for 2 months from the date of publication in the official gazette.

Dated 20th day of February 2013.

Dr. S.B. DEEPAK KUMAR, I.A.S., District Magistrate.
