Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under Section 30(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016.

The prosecution case is that the petitioner was apprehended by the police on suspicion, from out side his house, and thereafter house of the petitioner was searched and two litres of country made liquor was recovered.

>. Learned counsel for the appellants has also filed written notes of arguments and in reply a further written note of arguments has been filed by learned counsel for the respondent. The respondent, as an account holder in the State Bank of India (SBI), suffered a loss of Rs. 18,35 lakh through 20 internet transactions and the money was transferred to 20 accounts, all with the SBI. The account holder/complainant filed Petition No. 1 of 2013 before the leamed A.O./Secretary to Government, Information Technology, Electronics and Communications Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh. After hearing the parties in detail and taking into consideration the defence of the Bank, which is the appellants herein, and all the relevant documents, learned A.O. by the impugned order dated 12,3.2014 has allowed claim of the complainant who is respondent herein and directed SBI to pay the entire amount of Rs. 18.35 lakh with interest from the date of loss ie. 13.5.2012 till the date of payment along with the costs of Rs. 39,750.00. The rate of interest is 18% per annum. Admittedly, nothing has been paid by SBI so far.

2. The other appeal (No.7of 2013) has been preferred by Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA) which has challenged the legality etc. of a subsequent Order No.30/2012-13 dated 28.12.2012 issued by AERA in exercise of powers under Section 13(1)(b) of the AERA Act read with Section 22A of the Airports Authority of India Act 1994(AAI Act) to re-determine the amount of DF at IGI Airport, New 4 Delhi. By this order AERA reviewed the earlier DF Order dated 14.11.2011 in a small measure, reduced the rate of DF w.e.f. 01.01.2013 and extended the levy period upto April, 2016 subject to further review. The FIA, it appears, had challenged the earlier DF order dated 14.11.2011 also. Its stand is that levy of DF to bridge the funding gap for IGI Airport is contrary to law and the relevant agreements which cast a duty upon DIAL to arrange for funds for development of the Airport. It is also pleaded that the project cost has been blown-up beyond realistic proportions and AERA has failed to exercise the required level of scrutiny which would have kept the final project cost at a reasonable and permissible level.

2. Considering above, the sentence in paragraph 30, reading "The industry has also filed M.A.No.145/2014 in connection with such closure with a prayer to direct MPCB to give hearing before restart" Should be read as "The industry has also filed MA No.145/2014, with a prayer to direct the MPCB to take decision on the Application of the Applicant for revocation of closure directions at the earliest, on the basis of merit of the matter".

3. Considering the above specific directions, we do not find any necessity to rectify the operative part of the Judgment. However, considering the fact that hearing has already been extended to the said Industry on 19.8.2014, by the Member Secretary, as mentioned by the Applicant- Industry, and also by MPCB in its affidavit Misc Appln. No.155/2014 Page 2 dated 2nd September, 2014, we expect that the learned Member Secretary will expedite decision making, and take a decision on the request of the Industry for re-start, in any case, not later than two (2) weeks from today.

24. "Considering foregoing discussion, we are of the opinion that the Application will have to be partly allowed in order to protect Environment and ecology, as well as the Forests area. Consequently, we partly allow the Application and give following directions:

1. The interim orders given by Hon'ble High Court of Bombay, Nagpur Bench, on 30/4/2004 referred in para-9 above shall continue to operate, as the state government has not submitted the necessary data and reports on the present status of forest and an updated action plan to increase the forest cover in the state to the desired level and also, comprehensive statement of the compliance of various directions of Apex court and High Court, issued in this regard. The Tribunal is required to continue the interim orders on Pre-cautionary Principle basis in the absence of above information and Tribunal is willing to reconsider the position if the state government approaches the Tribunal with necessary data, reports and action plan. The said interim orders shall be part of this final order. "

2. There is no dispute about fact that Respondent No.2 formulated a policy as published in Government Resolution dated 12th March 2013. Case of the Appellant is that, Respondent No.5 auctioned various sand-beds of Yavatmal District as per guidelines issued by the Government of Maharashtra in its Policy OM dated March 12th, 2013. He alleges that due to such illegality, extraction of sand by lease holders including Respondent No.6, one of such auction lease holder, being carried out. The Appellant is more concerned with sand-beds at village Babhulgaon. He would Misc Appln. No.155/2014 Page 3 submit that before grant of Environmental Clearance, State Environment Appraisal Committee (SEAC) ought to have considered whether the sand-bed is below 5 ha. area and distance between two (2) sand-beds is atleast 1 k.m. The SEAC failed to consider such kind of parameters and recommended the case to the SEIAA (Respondent No.4). The SEIAA thereafter granted the EC without proper assessment and appraisal. Consequently, the Appellant challenges the EC and the auction proceedings.

2. Briefly stated, case of the Appellant is that as per Judgment of Apex Court in "Deepak Kumar Vrs. State of Haryana, 2012(4) SCC 629" sand beds (sandghats) situated below 5 ha. area may be leased out only if distance between the two (2) ghats is of atleast 1 k.m. It is in keeping with such directions of the Apex Court that the MoEF has issued OM dated 24th December 2013. The State has no authority to consider the project activities of granting lease of area over and above 5 ha. of sandghats into the category of 'B-2' as per class 2(I)(iii) of the OM dated 24th December 2013. Such a project will have to be treated as category 'B-1' project for the purpose of appraisal and must be appraised by the MoEF. The SEIAA could not have done the work of assessment/appraisal nor the SEIAA could have granted the EC. According to the Petitioner the Respondents purposefully downsized the (J) Appeal No.10/2014 (WZ) 3 sand beds without keeping marginal space of 1 k.m. between the two (2) sand beds. It is stated that the auction conducted by both the Collectors is illegal and erroneous. Consequently the Appellant seeks to challenge the same and urges to quash the same.

2. The Project Proponent (M/s Windosor Reality Pvt Ltd), has come out with a case that the plans for construction of commercial building were issued by the Planning Authority on 7.7.1993. The project work was started long back. The construction work was going on for about a period almost over and above 8/10 years. The Project Proponent alleges that the building having 28 floors, 3 level podium and 2 voids, in total 33 floors, have been constructed and that by itself must be deemed to be a notice to the Applicant. So, it is not open for the Applicant now to raise such a dispute under false and frivolous allegations that 'cause of action' to file the Application has arisen first on 23rd October, 2013. The Applicant cannot raise such a dispute at a belated stage by giving goby to the specific provisions of Section 14 (3) read with Section 18 of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010. The Hon'ble Bombay High Court and Hon'ble Supreme Court interpreted the special enactments like the Arbitration Act, 1998, the Electricity Act, 2003 and held that where a statute prescribes shorter period of limitation and different scheme of limitation is provided under such a Statute, the provisions of the Limitation Act, 1963, are excluded and the Tribunal must apply the period of Page 4 (J) M.A. No.65/2014 in Application No.13/2014 (WZ) limitation as prescribed under the special enactment while exercising its powers. So, when the special provision is set out under Section 14(3) of the NGT Act, then time cannot be extended any more by Application of Section 5 of the Limitation Act, 1963, or any such analogues provision.

JUSTICE SWATANTER KUMAR, (CHAIRPERSON) The first applicant in this application claims to be a public spirited person who has been working in the field of environment conservation. The second applicant is an organisation working in the field of environment across the country. Both these applicants raise a specific substantial question relating to environment with respect to water pollution in the River Ganga, particularly, between Garh Mukteshwar and Narora, due to discharge of highly toxic and harmful effluents. It is alleged that highly toxic and 4 harmful effluents are being discharged by the respondent units into the Sambhaoli drain/Phuldera drain that travels along with the Syana Escape Canal which finally joins River Ganga. These units had constructed underground pipelines for such discharge. According to the applicants, Simbhaoli Sugar Mills was established in 1933 and presently is operating three sugar mills and three distilleries in the State of Uttar Pradesh. The total crushing capacity of all three complexes is of 20100 TCD. The unit at Simbhaoli alone has a crushing capacity of 9500 TCD. In just outside the premises of this sugar mill, untreated effluents are being discharged into the drain which finally joins the River Ganga. The other unit, Gopalji Dairy which is producing milk and milk products of different kinds, also discharges untreated effluents in the same Simbhaoli drain. The contamination from discharge of trade effluents is so high that it not only pollutes the Syana Escape canal and the River Ganga but also threatens the life of endangered aquatic species such as dolphins, turtles and other aquatic life. It has also polluted the groundwater of villages from where it passes through, like Bauxar, Jamalpur, Syana, Bahadurgarh, Alampur, Paswada and Nawada village. It is the submission of the applicant that the Gangetic Dolphin is a highly endangered species and is listed in Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. It is also submitted that the WWF India has come out with a report on Ganges and has recorded the finding that a large number of factories like sugar, chemicals, 5 fertilizers, small-scale engineering etc. located at the bank of the river, discharge their effluents directly into the River Ganga and pollute the river to a considerable extent. It is estimated that nearly 260 million litres of industrial waste-water, largely untreated, is discharged by these units while the other major pollution inputs include runoff from the agricultural fields. It is submitted that more than 6 million tonnes of chemical fertilizers and 9,000 tonnes of pesticides are used annually within the basin. The dumping of untreated effluents has also been reported in several newspapers many times and one of the news article published in India Today dated 19th July, 2010 titled as "Ganga Chokes as Sugar Mills Dump Wastes" reported that Simbhaoli Sugar Mills has been rushing its poisonous industrial waste directly into the River. As a result thereof, the colour of green water is black and it stinks around the year. Several large fishes have died and four of the buffaloes of the villagers died after they drank the drain water.

संसदीय कार्य मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री तथा भारी उद्योग और लोक उद्यम मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री (श्री अर्जुन राम मेघवाल): सभापति महोदया, हम एग्रीकल्चर के विषय पर नियम 193 की चर्चा दो-तीन दिनों से लगा रहे हैं । मैं आपसे अनुरोध करना चाहूंगा कि उसको पहले ले लिया जाए, क्योंकि वित्त मंत्री जी दूसरे हाउस में टैक्सेशन लॉ में बिजी है, इसलिए इसके बाद उस विषय को ले लिया जाए ।

माननीय सभापति: ठीक है, नियम 193 के अधीन चर्चा शुरू की जाए ।

       श्री कोडिकुन्नील सुरेश जी ।

SHRI KODIKUNNIL SURESH (MAVELIKKARA): Hon. Chairperson, thank you for giving me this opportunity to raise a discussion under Rule 193 on the topic `Crop loss due to various reasons and its impact on farmers’. At the outset I would like to submit that the Government has no intent, desire, and genuine concern towards addressing the issues of farmers in the country. The notice I gave for this discussion read -- `Agrarian crisis and farmers’ distress’. The Government did not accept the language in which I submitted my notice for this discussion, instead have formulated the language for the discussion in another way. The Government chose to ignore the topic that would have exposed the failure of the BJP Government to the public. The Government formulated another language which read -- `Crop loss due to various reasons and its impact on farmers’. They have not chosen the straight path but instead have taken a circuitous route to deviate from the core issue. But this anti-farmer and anti-agriculturist attitude of the BJP Government thus stands exposed in this House as the Modi Government is afraid of facing the truth of deeply disturbing agrarian crisis engulfing the country by refusing to address the real concern. The Congress and other like-minded parties decided to raise this issue in this august House.

श्री तीरथ सिंह रावत (गढ़वाल) : अध्यक्ष महोदय, मैं आपके माध्यम से माननीय पंचायती राज एवं ग्रामीण विकास मंत्री का ध्यान उत्तराखंड प्रदेश के ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में परिवार रजिस्टर की नकल एवं जन्म मृत्यु प्रमाण-पत्र को प्राप्त करने में हो रही परेशानियों की ओर आकर्षित करना चाहता हूं, जिसके कारण स्थानीय ग्रामीण जनता परेशान है ।…(व्यवधान) पंचायती राज की नई व्यवस्था से पूर्व गांवों में ग्राम प्रधानों द्वारा अपने ग्राम सभाओं की जनता को परिवार रजिस्टर की नकल एवं जन्म मृत्यु प्रमाण पत्र दिए जाते थे, जिससे बड़ी सरलता और सुगमता होती थी । ई-डिस्ट्रिक्ट प्रणाली लागू होने में कठिनाइयां आई हैं । इसके कारण ग्रामीण जनता को इसे लेने के लिए विकास खण्डों में आना पड़ रहा है । विकास खण्‍ड स्तर पर परिवार रजिस्टर की नकल आवेदकों को सरलता से प्राप्त नहीं हो रही है ।

श्री रोड़मल नागर (राजगढ़): मेरा संसदीय क्षेत्र राजगढ़ मध्य प्रदेश मुख्यत:कृषि पर आधारित क्षेत्र है और यहां खेती-किसानी ही जीवनयापन का मुख्य आधार है ।…(व्यवधान) देश में पहली बार अन्नदाता किसानों की वास्तविक परिस्थितियों को समझकर मोदी सरकार ने किसानों की आय को दोगुना करने का लक्ष्य तय किया है ।…(व्यवधान) इस क्रम में प्रधान मंत्री जी द्वारा किसान सम्मान निधि के वितरण का एक ऐतिहासिक निर्णय लिया है,किंतु मध्य प्रदेश सरकार द्वारा किसानों को उनके हित से वंचित करते हुए अनावश्यक रूप से लटकाया और भटकाया जा रहा है ।…(व्यवधान) कभी खातों को अपडेट करने या किसानों के वैरिफिकेशन की सूची को अपेडट करने के नाम पर भ्रष्टाचार किया जा रहा है ।…(व्यवधान) विशेषकर मेरे संसदीय क्षेत्र के अधिकांश किसानों को किसान सम्मान निधि की किश्तें नहीं मिली हैं ।…(व्यवधान)

माननीय अध्यक्ष: श्री ए.राजा जी ।

राजा जी का दूसरा विषय है ।

SHRI A. RAJA (NILGIRIS): Sir, a tragic incident happened in the early hours of Monday, the 2nd December 2019 at Nadoor Village near Mettupalayam Municipality in my constituency. A compound wall constructed by  a private individual had collapsed,  instantly killing 17 Scheduled Castes people, including children. The fact remains that the villagers had on several occasions complained to the district administration and the State Government with regard to the danger posed by the compound wall. The incident led to scores of people, including relatives of the deceased and the members of the pro-Dalit organisations like Tamil Tigers and other political parties protest against the district administration and pressing for reasonable demand to accommodate them inside the Mettupalayam Government Hospital Campus.

संसदीय कार्य मंत्री; कोयला मंत्री तथा खान मंत्री (श्री प्रहलाद जोशी): सभापति महोदया,जब स्मृति ईरानी जी बोल रही थीं,उस समय श्री टी.एन. प्रथापन और एडवोकेट डीन कुरियाकोस ने दुर्व्यवहार किया है, जो निंदात्मक है । This is most condemnable. महिला संसद सदस्य के सामने थ्रेटनिंग पोजीशन में आना,यह बिलकुल गलत है । She was talking as a lady Member of this House, and at that time, everybody had expressed their opinions. मेरा एक्सप्रेशन करने का स्टाइल अलग है और अधीर रंजन जी का अलग है । But if you become aggressive, ऐसा करना बिल्कुल ठीक नहीं है । It is most uncalled for. मैं अधीर रंजन जी से आग्रह करता हूं कि उन दोनों माननीय सदस्यों को बुलाइए और माफी   मंगवाइए ।  They should ask for the apology unconditionally. …(Interruptions)
