indulge in serious offences like murder, robbery, hurt, extortion, damages to public

and private properties, assault, obstructions, annoyance, etc., and thereby become

a perennial source of threat to the community and disturb public peace and order.

Hence, the Station House Officer of Mettupalayam Police Station, Puducherry has

prayed to invoke provisions under section 144 Cr.P.C., against the Counter

Petitioner to not to enter into the jurisdiction of this Court for a period of two

months so as to prevent danger to the human life and properties and disturbance

to the public tranquility and order.

7. The proceeding was started by affording an opportunity to the Counter

was instructed to serve the notice to the Counter Petitioner through the Station

House Officer, Mettupalayam Police Station, Puducherry. The notice for the Counter

by the Petitioner, 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, extortion, assault,

annoyance, obstructions, damages to properties, etc., and thereby become a

perennial source of threat to the community and disturb public peace and order.

to prevent harm to life and properties of citizens and uphold public peace and order.

11. Hence, I, Arjun Ramakrishnan, do hereby in the capacity of

peace and create a problem of law and order and public tranquility. He has involved

in crimes such as murder, assault, unlawful activities and disturbance to the public

peace and order. There are two criminal cases were registered against him in

Mettupalayam Police Station, Puducherry.

9. On perusal of the records submitted by the Petitioner and the

recommendation of the Superintendent of Police (North), 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, extortion, obstructions, annoyance, damages to public and

private properties, etc., and thereby emerged as a perennial source of threat to the

community and disturb public peace and Order. Such situations 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. is invoked to

take action against the Counter Petitioner to prevent harm to life and properties of

citizens and uphold public peace and order.

10. Hence, I, Arjun Ramakrishnan, do hereby in the capacity of

Subdivisional Magistrate (North), Puducherry, in exercise of powers conferred under

the section 144(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, pass this order and prohibit

the Counter Petitioner Thiru Joseph (22), son of Karunagaran, a resident of No. 10,

Gandhi Street, Gandhi Thirunalloor, Muthirayarpalayam, Puducherry, from entering

into the region under the jurisdiction of the Subdivisional Magistrate Court (North)

until 20-04-2024 from the date of this order (in view of the GELS–2024) or till any

further, orders are passed by the Competent Authority revoking this prohibition as

per law, whichever is earlier except when you are summoned to attend the cases in

any of the Courts in Puducherry. However, you may represent against this order

before the undersigned by post or by Counsel.

At Puducherry, dated on this 15th day of April, 2024, pronounced in the

open Court.

ARJUN RAMAKRISHNAN,

Subdivisional Magistrate (North).
