during the 2nd session of the Seventh Legislative

Assembly of the State of Goa convened at 11.30 a.m.

immediate preventive measures are necessary for the

maintenance of public peace, order and tranquillity;

sufficient grounds for proceeding under Section 144

(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and that

the circumstances do not allow the serving of notice

individually.

in me under Section 144 (1) of the Code of Criminal

Procedure, 1973, I, Sabaji P. Shetye, District

Magistrate, North Goa, do hereby prohibit:—

and taking out or organizing of processions.
