3. The Petitioner further submits that the Counter Petitioner Nandhakumar @
Nandha, has links with many rowdy elements of Thirunallar who were involved in
2 no’s of Attempt to murder cases, 4 no’s of Hurt Cases, NDPS case and 2 no’s of
POSCO cases and 5 no’s of other criminal cases in Police Station limits. He is an
active and prominent rowdy and had been involving in criminal cases frequently and
causing danger to the lives and properties of the citizens and of perpetual
disturbance to the public order and tranquility.
4. Further, it is submitted that if, the Counter Petitioner is allowed to move
around freely in Karaikal District, it will certainly lead to severe law and order
problem in the local area, since innocent persons are affected by his criminal
activities in a very agitated/violent mood and the victimized group might also become
in a retaliatory mood. If, the counter petitioner is allowed to reside and to move
around Karaikal District, the victimized group may conduct impromptu agitation, and
there are chances of clashes in Thirunallar Police Station limit, Karaikal, which will
result in bloodshed, loss of life/limb or damage to public and private properties and
lead to law and order problem in Thirunallar Police Station limits and Karaikal
District. He was operating in the Thirunallar Police Station limit, Karaikal and has
become a source of terror among the public. Public of the locality are afraid of him
and they do not come forward to lodge any complaint due to fear to retaliation.
Hence , they are also living in a constant fear of life and also not willing to give
further evidence against him or his co-accused in his criminal cases.
5. Whereas, the Petitioner further submits that in view of the above reasons,
the Counter Petitioner Nandhakumar @ Nandha when released on bail from the
Judicial custody by the Hon’ble Courts of Law would certainly create law and order
problem in the local area since the victimized family by the act of the accused are
already in a agitated and retaliatory mood that may cause certain deterioration of
law and order and public tranquility in Thirunallar area. The Station House Officer

also reiterated that if, the Counter Petitioner is allowed to enter into the limits of the
Thirunallar and Karaikal region, he will certainly threaten the witnesses to hinder
their lawful deposition by using his influence and that he may threaten the
witnesses and that his entry into Thirunallar area, may cause communal clashes
between two different community groups since the victimized and the accused
belong to two different communities and also that if, the Counter Petitioner is
allowed to enter Thirunallar area, he would get more freedom to commit similar crimes
in future.
6. Whereas, according to the Petitioner, it is necessary to keep Counter
Petitioner under preventive and prohibitory orders so as to curtail his criminal
activities and to ensure safety and security of the community and also for the
maintenance of public order under the provision of 163 BNSS -2023. Hence, the
Station House Officer had registered a case in I.R. No. l2/2025, dated 09-06-2025,
under section 163 - BNSS-2023 and hence, prayed before this Court that the Counter
Petitioner may be ordered not to enter in Karaikal region for a period of six months
except on days when he is summoned to attend the cases by the Hon’ble Courts in
Karaikal by invoking the provisions under section 163 (i), (ii) and (iii) of BNSS-2023.
7. 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, Thirunallar Police Station, Karaikal, that if, the Counter Petitioner is
allowed to move freely 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 within the jurisdiction of Thirunallar Police Station, Karaikal and also
within the entire jurisdiction of this Court in Karaikal District since, his close
association with the hooligans and gangsters of the neighboring State of Tamil Nadu
would also certainly instigate many more criminal activities to cause insecurity of
life in the minds of general public.
8. Hence, I, Arjun Ramakrishnan, 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 order
issue of show cause notice on prohibitory orders to the Counter Petitioner,
Nandhakumar @ Nandha, under section 163 (i) (ii) and (iii) of BNSS to appear before
this Court on 18-06-2025 at 3.30 p.m. to show cause as to why he shall not be ordered
to restrain from entering 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 of 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 when he is required by any Court of law to comply with any
lawful directions.
Dated on this 13th day of June, 2025.
ARJUN RAMAKRISHNAN,
Subdivisional Magistrate.
