3. The petitioner being the Station House Officer of T.R.Pattinam Police Station, Karaikal, has submitted that the counter petitioner has formed a gang of rowdies and is bent upon indulging in criminal activities such as murders, extortion, hurt, criminal intimidation, Arms Act violation and disturbance to the public tranquility and order which have created panic in the minds of local inhabitants and the business community living under the jurisdiction of the T.R Pattinam Police Station limit. He is associated with the criminal activities of one Ezhilarasi who in turn is operating in T.R.Pattinam and Neravy adjoining areas and has become a source of terror among the public. The general public of the above localities are afraid of them and they do not come forward to lodge complaint against the counter petitioner due to fear of retaliation and revenge. The prosecution witnesses are having fear to depose evidence against him and hence, they do not volunteer.
4. The petitioner further submitted that the counter petitioner had invariably used deadly weapons in commission of the above crimes, thereby, the general public were affected at large and spent sleepless nights in panic and fear of death, extortion and hurt. The petitioner further submits that the counter petitioner is a close associate of the gang leader Ezhilarasi and leads a team by hiring criminals from the neighboring State i.e., Tamil Nadu to commit grave offences. In general, the public fear of their life posed by this anti-social element along with his associates. Taking advantage of fears of public, the counter petitioner is going ahead in his unlawful acts which are detrimental to the public peace and tranquility which are likely to create panic and sense of insecurity in the society.
5. The petitioner further submitted that the Police Intelligence reveals that counter petitioner has planned to extort money from merchants, selected targets of people to have accumulated money through illegal means with the aid of her active associates which needs to be clinched out at the very beginning itself.
6. Whereas, the counter petitioner has been reported as a notorious criminal who does not bother on discipline and morale of society, ignorant of the Police warnings and he is reportedly heading a gang of hooligans to move around in the view of public to inflict fear in minds of general public, merchants and people of business class and others. He moves around with his henchmen as a gang leader. It has been reported by the Station House Officer, T.R Pattinam Police Station, Karaikal, that the counter petitioner has planned to eliminate the alleged conspirators involved in the commission of murder of Ezhilarasi's husband and also who have been listed to have assisted the assailants namely, Govindaraj and Maheshwaran of Karaikal to escape after the murder of Ezhilarasi's husband namely, Ramu @ Radhakrishnan. In conclusion, the Station House Officer, T.R Pattinam Police Station, Karaikal, being the petitioner has submitted that the counter petitioner is a hard core criminal and detrimental to the peace and tranquility of public life and the security of the public is at stake due to his notorious criminal activities. He along with his active associates are waiting to extort money from people of rich wealth and business community by inflicting fear of threat to their life so as to accumulate amazing wealth to fund his heinous act.
PART-I ] LA GAZETTE DE L'ETAT 19557. Whereas, the counter petitioner was summoned to appear in this Court on 20-05-2019 at 3.30 p.m. to answer to the charges under sections 144 (i) and (ii) Cr.PC vide summons served under M.C. No. 256/2019, dated 14-05-2019. While the counter petitioner was called absent and the petitioner appeared to state that summons could not be served to the counter petitioner at the residential address as specified in I.R. No. 54/2019 and he was not found in such an address. The petitioner however, continued to depose before this Court on the contents of information laid under section 144 (i) and (ii) of Cr.PC. on 07-06-2019 stated as to have served summons of this Court in M.C.No. 256/2019, dated 14-05-2019 to one G. Selladurai, s/o. Govindhasamy, who works as private Security Guard at the reportedly transit residential house of the counter petitioner known as No. 254, 5th Cross, Nethaji Nagar, Karaikal under the Neravy Police Station limits at the residential house of the counter petitioner on 27-06-2019 and obtained the acknowledgments. While the Counter Petitioner was called absent on the day of enquiry by this Court on 07-06-2019 also.
8. Whereas, in my opinion, it has been made to appear to this Court that there were sufficient grounds for proceeding against the counter petitioner under section 144 (i) (ii) and (iii) of Cr.PC. Hence, the counter petitioner Vive @ Vickraman, s/o. Jaganathan @ Dhanabal was directed to appear in person before this Court on 19-07-2019 at 3.30 p.m. to show cause as to why he should not be ordered not to enter the entire region of Karaikal District with immediate effect which is under the jurisdiction of this Court for a period of 2 (two) months except on the days he is summoned by any other Hon'ble Court of Law at Karaikal.
9. Whereas, the counter petitioner appeared in this Court along with his Counsel on 19-07-2019, while the learned Counsel appearing for the counter petitioner argued on this point that the counter petitioner could not be prohibited from entering Karaikal District as himself usually resides in a place of residence within the Karaikal District and also prayed for time while filing the counter affidavit on 24-07-2019.The Station House Officer in turn refuted the version of argument that the counter petitioner himself is facing life threat since, he has involved himself in murder cases as one among the accused within the jurisdiction of Karaikal District on the other hand the counter petitioner also has been identified as a potential life threat to those members of rival gangs victimised by his dreaded criminal activities. Hence, it appears to this Court that there is an intense gang rivalry which could lead to cognizable offences that would certainly thwart maintenance of law and order, public peace and tranquility in the Karaikal District, since, the counter petitioner is reportedly operative along with his supporters in and around the area covered within the jurisdiction of this Court.
10. Whereas, counter affidavit and objections respectively, filed by the Counsel for the counter petitioner and also by the Station House Officer, T.R.Pattinam Police Station, Karaikal were received by this Court on 29-07-2019 and 02-08-2019 and were examined in detail. Contention assorted by the counter petitioner to question the provisions revoked by this Court under sections 144 (i), (ii) and (iii) of Cr.PC. which are reportedly contrary to the fundamental rights granted by the Article 14 of the constitution of India were not acceptable to this Court, while the objections filed by the Station House Officer, T.R.Pattinam Police Station, Karaikal, stands to refute all the averments of the counter petitioner that he has no valid legal immunity to defend the invoking the provisions of 144 (i), (ii) and (iii) ofLA GAZETTE DE L'ETAT [ PART-I 1956 1956 Cr.PC against him. This Court adopts such a view as clearly established by the Section 144 (i) of the Cr.PC. that a Magistrate can act in derogation of private civil right when such rights conflict with other rights of the public or tend to endanger the public peace and tranquility. The very purpose of Section 144 Cr.PC. is to give such direction that may be necessary to uphold public order and tranquility. Hence, the argument of the learned Counsel for the counter petitioner that the counter petitioner's civil right is violated cannot be the grounds for non-application of section 144 of Cr.PC. Even fundamental rights are subject to reasonable restrictions such as on the basis of the interests of the general public. In this case, the rights of the general public to public order and safety take precedence over a private civil right.
11. Therefore, this Court reviewed the prayer by the petitioner, who has submitted to this Court that the counter petitioner may be ordered not to enter into Karaikal District for a period of 2 (two) months in order to prevent the danger to the human life and properties and disturbance to the public tranquility and order in jurisdiction of the Hon'ble District Magistrate, Karaikal by invoking the provisions under sections 144 (i), (ii) and (iii) of Cr.PC. except on the days he is summoned by any other Hon'ble Court of Law at Karaikal.
12. Whereas, I am satisfied that based on the information placed before me and other facts which are brought out through enquiry report placed by the Station House Officer, T.R.Pattinam Police Station, Karaikal that if, the counter petitioner is allowed to move free handedly within the jurisdiction of Karaikal District, then his free movement would cause fear and apprehension in the minds of general public which would also severely affect the public tranquility, good order, common peace in the area of living with in the jurisdiction of T.R.Pattinam Police Station and also with in the entire jurisdiction of this Court in Karaikal District.
13. Hence, I, M. Adharsh, Subdivisional Magistrate, Karaikal, after going through the information laid before me and also after satisfying myself of the need for prohibition of certain activities of the counter petitioner, doth hereby pass Prohibitory Orders to the Counter Petitioner, Vive @Vickraman, s/o. Jaganathan @ Dhanabal under section 144 (i), (ii) and (iii) of Cr.PC. to restrain him not to enter into the entire region of Karaikal District which is under the jurisdiction of this Court, for a period of 2 (two) months (or) 60 (sixty) days with effect from the date of issue this order (or) till any further order passed by the competent authority revoking this prohibitory order as per law whichever is earlier, except for the days he is summoned by any other Hon'ble Courts of Law at Karaikal District.
Dated, this 14th day of August 2019.
M. ADHARSH, Subdivisional Magistrate, Karaikal.
