3. The Station House Officer further submitted that the Counter Petitioner being a notorious criminal does not respect the Rule of Law, but, rather actively breaks the law. The Station House Officer has also reported that witnesses of her crimes are refusing to volunteer information against her due to fear of retaliation and revenge. The Station House Officer has also reported that the Counter Petitioner has started an organisation named as "SRR Arakkattalai" (®¸.gÏ.gÏ. ∂≈¬Ô'¶Á·) and the same is functioning with her hooligans and criminal associates at her house. She has been involved in many illegal activities with the money and muscle power (hooligans and criminal associates) within the banner of her above organization. Further, the Station House Officer reported that the Counter Petitioner had been absconding arrest in a case in Cr.No. 138/2020 under section 386, 506(ii) IPC r/w 34 IPC, dated 31-12-2020 of T.R. Pattinam Police Station, Karaikal and that if, she is permitted to enter into Karaikal region, she would likely disturb the smooth conduct of the then ensuing General Elections-2021 to the Puducherry Legislative Assembly with the support of her money power, hooligans and criminal associates in the Neravy – T.R. Pattinam Assembly Constituency and also in Karaikal region. This was also established through the special report of SGASI of Police A.C. Raghu of Neravy Police Station, Karaikal, which had been entered on 01-03-2021 in G.D Vol. No. 10, Page No. 09 and Serial No. 40 of Neravy Police Station, Karaikal.

4. The Station House Officer further submitted that since the activities of the Counter Petitioner was detrimental to the public order, it was found to be essential that the Counter Petitioner be restrained from entering into Karaikal District immediately under the provisions of 144 of Cr.P.C., or else there was every likelihood that the Counter Petitioner would indulge in wrongful activities disturbing the public order.

5. The Petitioner has submitted that on 09-03-2021 while himself Thiru J. Jerome Jesmond, Sub-Inspector of Police, being the Station House Officer, Neravy Police Station, Karaikal, was performing rounds in his Police Station Limits, he received reliable information that the Counter Petitioner namely, Tmt. Ezhilarasi @ Meera was likely to create problem in Neravy Police Station limits in the Kariakal region. Hence, by registering one IR. No. 32/2021 under section 144 of Cr.P.C., on 09-03-2021 at 14.55 hrs., the Station House Officer prayed before this Court, that the Counter Petitioner may be ordered not to enter in Karaikal region for a period of six months so as to prevent danger to human life and properties, and disturbance to the public tranquility and order in the Karaikal District by invoking the provisions under sections 144 (i), (ii) and (iii) of Cr.P.C.

6. Whereas, on 13-04-2021, the Station House Officer, Neravy Police Station, Karaikal, has reported that the Counter Petitioner namely, Tmt. Ezhilarasi @ Meera was arrested on 16-03-2021 in connection with a case in Cr.No. 138/2020 under section 386, 506(ii) IPC r/w 34 IPC, dated 31-12-2020 of T.R. Pattinam Police Station, Karaikal and was remanded into Judicial custody at Central Prison, Kalapet, Puducherry, following which the Counter Petitioner has been released on bail from Judicial custody on 10-04-2021. Now, the Station House Officer, Neravy Police Station, Karaikal, has reported and prayed for the immediate need to restrain her from entering into the entire region of Karaikal District under the jurisdiction of this Court, in the interest of preventing her from causing danger to human life and properties and also disturbance to public tranquility and order in the Karaikal region by invoking the provisions under sections 144 (i), (ii) and (iii) of Cr.PC.

7. Whereas, I am satisfied that based on the information placed before me and other facts which are brought out through the enquiry report placed by the Station House Officer, Neravy Police Station, Karaikal that if, the Counter Petitioner is allowed to move freely within the jurisdiction of Karaikal District, then her free movement would cause fear and apprehension in the minds of general public which would also severely affect the smooth conduct of counting process and declaration of Results (scheduled on 02-05-2021) of the recently concluded General Elections to the Puducherry Legislative Assembly--2021. It is also clear that the Counter Petitioner has scant regard for the criminal justice system and the Rule of Law and refuses to co-operate with the Police in their Investigations. Therefore, based on the report laid before me, I am of the opinion that if, the Counter Petitioner is allowed to reside within the limits of my jurisdiction, the Counter Petitioner will continue to indulge in and also motivate serious offences like murder, assault, damages to private properties, obstructions, annoyance, extortion and thereby become a perennial source of threat to the community and disturb public peace and order.

8. Hence, I am satisfied that this situation cannot be handled effectively by taking recourse to usual procedures contemplated by law and hence, it is necessary that special provision under section 144 of Cr.P.C., needs to be invoked to take action against the Counter Petitioner to prevent harm to life and properties of citizens and to uphold public peace and order.

9. Whereas, I am satisfied that the Counter Petitioner is an habitual offender, wherein, it necessitates to maintain law and order, and given the time constraint, serving of notice to her as provided under the Code could not be followed and that her activities will endanger human life and properties, and the presence of the Counter Petitioner is a threat to public tranquility in my Subdivision. Further, the Station House Officer has also reported that the Counter Petitioner is in urgent need of money and will likely resort to extortion to gather money. Therefore, immediate action is required for curtailing the illegal activities of the Counter Petitioner in the locality and whereas, in view of urgency of the matter, this is ex parte.

10. 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 Tmt. Ezhilarasi @ Meera (39), daughter of Dharmalingam under section 144 (2) Cr.P.C., to restrain her not to enter into the entire region of Karaikal District which is under the jurisdiction of this Court, for a period of two months from the date of this order or till any further orders are passed by the Competent Authority revoking this prohibition as per law, whichever is earlier, except when she is required to obey the directions of any of the Courts.

Given under my hand and seal on the 15th day of April, 2021 at Karaikal.

M. ADHARSH, Subdivisional Magistrate.
