IN THE COURT OF THE SUBDIVISIONAL MAGISTRATE, KARAIKAL
M.C. No. 38/2017/673
ORDER UNDER SECTION 144 (1) of Cr. P.C.
Whereas, a report was received from the Tahsildar, Taluk Office, Thirunallar on 13-06-2017 stating that frequent illegal sand mining had been taking place from the Government Land as Government Dry Land, Tharisu in Ponbethy Revenue Village along the southern bank of Nandalar river in the Kulakudy, Andoor and Usupoor hamlets and also in the Nandalar river bed, Government Dry Land, Tharisu in Kurumbagaram Revenue Village sprawled along the northern bank of Nandalar river under the Ponbethy and Kurumbagaram Revenue Villages along the stretch of the banks of the Nandalar river with rich deposits of the alluvial soil along in Kulakkudy,Andoor and Usuppoor hamlets in Thirunallar Taluk.
LA GAZETTE DE L'ETAT [ PART-I 956 9562. And whereas, the Tahsildar, Taluk Office, Thirunallar along with the Deputy Tahsildar (Excise and Sand mining) and Revenue Inspector concerned have conducted frequent raids to apprehend the offenders of illegal sand mining to impound the vehicles used for that purpose, seize the quantum of sand illegally mined so as to levy compounding fine on the offenders.
3. Whereas, frequent raids on the field concerned, by the Revenue Officials are yet to yield some results since, the instances of illegal sand mining is still recurrent and a menace in deed, because the offenders flee away from the site on spotting out enforcement squads and again resume their illegal activities within a day or two. In general, the offenders appear to be under the impression that it is their right to take away the sand from Government land.
4. Whereas, continuous excavation of sand from the bank of Nandalar river in this especially notified area along the side of Kulakudy Village would cause dangerous and devastating floods by the breach of the banks of the river during the seasonal monsoon that may wash away the hamlets and standing crops in that area.
5. Whereas, it has been made to appear to me that there are sufficient grounds for proceeding under section 144 (1) of Cr.P.C. to prevent imminent danger to the lives and properties of the citizen and uphold public safety and order in the areas of jurisdiction under the Ponbethy and Kurumbagaram Revenue Villages covering Andoor, Kulakudy and Usupoor hamlets. Hence, it is necessary that special provisions under section 144 of Cr. P.C is invoked to take action in order to prevent imminent danger to the lives and properties of the citizen and uphold public safety.
6. Now, therefore, I, R. Kesavan, I.A.S, Subdivisional Magistrate, Karaikal after going through the information laid before me and also after satisfying myself of the need for prohibition of certain activities, do hereby direct to—
Prohibit the unlawful entry of public from entering into the Government land under R.S. No: 3/15 and R.S. No: 3/10 as Government Dry Land, Tharisu in Ponbethy Revenue Village along the southern bank of Nandalar river in the Kulakudy, Andoor and Usupoor hamlets and also under R.S. No: 270 as Nandalar river and R.S. No: 1 as Government Dry Land, Tharisu in Kurumbagaram Revenue Village sprawled along the Northern Bank of Nandalar river for any purpose of excavation and transporting sand from that land.
