I

)? 111. Ruling by the Speaker I./

The Speaker addressed the House on the extraction of sand as under:

"Honourable Members, Shii Herculano Dourado and Francisco Monte Cruz had brought to the attention of the Honourable Chief Minister the grave problem posed by the indiscriminate extraction of sand by holders of mining leases granted by the Government by a calling attention notice on 1st April, 1980.

It was brought to the notice of the House that uncontrolled extraction of sand is destroying vast areas of land along the coast posing danger to the people around. There has been also a, great deal of resentment and alarm from the people residing in the affected villages on account of this indiscriminate sand extraction and inaction on the part of the Authorities to curb the situation.

The Authorities have sat, so far as silent spectators to the whole situation although they are aware through their agencies, of the problem. The Hydro- grapher in his report to the Captain of Ports after carrying out a necessary site inspection of the areas, has pointed out that there were various breaches of the terms of the lease committed by the extractors. In addition, he has also pointed out that vast damage is caused to properties surrounding the areas where mining leases have been granted. He has also mentioned that no minor mineral lease can be granted within a distance of 400 mts. from the beaches .

in terms of the Notification bearing No. 5-108/75-IPD dated 6-11-1975. The Captain of Ports vide letter of 22nd March, 1980, addressed to the Secretary, Industries and Labour Department, has cautioned that further damage would . be caused if the lesee's were allowed to extract sand until the expiry of the leases.

The Chief Town Planner had addressed a letter on 3rd May, 1978, to the Development Commissioner and Chairman of Environmental Committee, Go- vernment of Goa, Daman and Diu, and again in 'a letter of 27th August, 1977, to the Revenue Secretary made a fervent request to the Industries and Mines Department to immediately stop this extraction of sand and save the beaches and the surrounding agricultural lands from permanent damage before it is too late.

There have been resolutions of Panchayats of villages where the sand is being extracted, to stop the said activity. I have perused all these Reports and given due consideration to the views expressed by the Members of this House. I am of the view that it is incumbent upon the Goa Government to act immediately to protect the unfortunate people living on the sea coast from the danger posed to life and property. I would, therefore, urge the Government to take recourses to the provisions of law including Section 133 of the Criminal Procedure Code to suspend in the first instance all operations of sand extraction along the coast and thereafter make the necessary arrangements to cancel the said leases. Furthermore, to direct the department concerned to process claims from the owners for damages to their dwelling houses and property including coconut and cashew plantation as also to level the entire excavated area to ensure that tidal water and rain water are not filled up as recommended in the Hydrographer's report dated 19th March, 1980.

I have given this ruling after due consideration of the opinions and sentiments expressed by the Members of this House and all the reports submitted

by the Authorities above as also technical experts in the matter. This rulin is not only the unanimous expression of the sentiments of the Members this House but it is the collective wisdom and will of this House"

ii) Resolution No. 96 by Shri D. F. Desai. "This House strongly recommends Govt. to take upon the work of laying

the road Telaulii Dialgon-Coldem which was handed over to P.W.D. in 1976 by Telaulim Panchayat."

Speaker gave the following ruling on a letter given by Shri Luizinho Faleiro, M.L.A. who had tabled identical resolution as that of Resolution No. 96.

"I have received a letter from Hon. Member Shri Luizinho Faleiro requesting mti to allow him to move Resolution No. 96 standing in the name of Shri Dilkush Desai in today's list of business as Shri Dilkush Desai is not likely to attend the Session today and also because he has tabled an identical resolution. The Hon. Member has requested me to invoke Rule 285.

If the Hon. Member Shri Dilkush Desai had given authority to Shri Faleiro, Shri Faleiro could have very well moved the Resolution under Rule 106 of the 1Wes of Procedure. Now the point before us is whether in the absence of such authority Shri Faleiro can move the Resolution, on the ground that he has given notice of an identical resolution.

Notices of Resolution are tabled under Rule 99 of the Rules of Procedure and under Rule 115 the relative precedence of the notices of Resolution are determined by ballot in accordance with the direction of the Speaker.

When identical or substantially similar questions of notices of calling atten- tions etc. are received from sevwal members we are consolidating such notices and the names of the members who have given notices are brackated thereto. But as far as resolutions are concerned, we are not bracketing the names of members but such notices are given separate numbers and included in the ballot. While taking the ballot if two identical notices come, the second one is cancelled and chance is being given to have five resolutions on different subjects. Similarly when a resolution is moved, identical notices of resolutions are excluded while taking the subsequuent ballots of the same session.

It is also stated a t page 769 of Volume II of Practice of Procedure by Kaul & Shakdher as under:

"Where two or more members give separate notices of an identical motion or on the same matter, the names of all such members are bracketed on the admitted notice, the names of the members iater se being arranged in'the ordw in which notices are received in point of'time, or in the order

- 25 - i -.

?-. --* determined by ballot, as the case may be. The right of moving the motion in such cases belong in the first instance the member whose name appears first on the list." ,

Further it is stated in the foot-note of the same book by mutual agreement among the members, a member whose notice is not the first in the point of time, may be allowed to raise a discussion.

As our Rule is silent about the notices of identical resolutions, I think this is a fit case to invoke Rule 285. I, therefore, allow the member to move the resolution by invoking Rule 285."

Resolution No. 96 pr~posed. k part in the de'bate. The W o - lution was withdrawn 9 t h the leave of

iii) Resolution No. 48 by Shri Luizinho Faldro. "This House strongly recommends Govt. to move the Central Govt. to take

11. Ruling by the SpeaEer. i .

Q - Hon. Speaker gave the following ruling on the breach of privilege notice given

by Shri A. N. Naik, regarding a letter by Mrs. Usha Sharad Vengurlekar published in 'Navprabha' in its issue dated 10th April, 1980.

"On 11th April, 1980 Hon. Member Shri A. N. Naik has invited our attention to a letter by Mrs. Usha Sharad Vengurlekar published in "Navprabha" in its lssue dated 10th April, 1980. He has given a n&~ce un&r Rule 74 of Procedure alleging serious breach of privilege and gross contempt of the House by the letter in question. I t is his contention that the verbal onslaught against one M. L. A. is directed against himself l f b l y t a intimidate and discourage him in discharging the duties of the Legislator witho~ut fear or favour. Further by stating that Siddharth's death is being used for political p u w e , the lettw casts aspersions in the legislative work of the concerned M.L.A.

I have obtained an official version of the impugned letter which reads as Wer :

"To capitalise on death of Sidhartha for political ends amounts to disrespect to feelings of Bandocikar family.

It pained and suiyrised me to read the that last week in the Goa Assesmbly sescion the ruling party members demanded that the por- trait of late Bhau be removed from the Assembly Hall and' rqlaced by Prime Minister. I need not tell Goans how he worked for them., He was the first Chief Minister of Gm. and first leader of the House. Hence be deserves the respect.

Another MLA demanded enquiry. into the death of Sidhartha.

Sidhartha .was not a political man, so that this MLA every now and then should make use of Sidhartha's death for his political ends. Moreover what cam be achieved through an enquiry?

Sidhartha was the only dear brother among seven d us.

Its cmly we who are baring the pangs of separaticvn, due to his loss. It amounts to disrespect to the feelings of us-members of Bandodkar family to use his death for meeting ones political ends. This tendency is not at bt civMsed and nable,

If these MLAs desire to serve pmple), they should co-0p~l"ab with Chid Minist% Shri Rane off and on instead of coming in way of his c o w tructive work.

I appeal to my Goan brethren not to encourage such mischivom tendencies.

Mrs. Zfsha Sharad Vmgurlekm,

BOMBAY

', Under Section 16(3) of the Government of Union Territories Act, the powers / /$rIYiieges and immunities of the Legislative A s m b l y of Union territory and of

the members of the Committees thereof shall be such as are for the time being enjbyed the House of the People and its members and committees. As stated in the Book of Practice and Procedure of Parliament by Kaul & Shakdher speaches and writings reflecting on the House or its Committees or members are punished by the House as a contempt on the principle that such acts tend to obstruct the- House in the performance of their functions by diminishing the respect due to them.

However, it is also established that fair comment on Parliamentary Conduct of Members does not amount to a breach of privilege. But so far no guide-lines have been laid down as to what constitutes fair comment. Each case must stand upon its own facts and circumstances and if corruption is alleged or suggested or improper motives are attributed the House would clearly bet well within its rights, in dealing with the matter as a contempt.

The impugned letter describes the speech of the member demanding enquiry into the death of Sidhartha as not at all civilised and noble. Further it appeals to the Goans not to encourage such mischivous tendencies thereby describing the speach as rnischivcuus.

The letter morewer imputes malafides to the Hon. Member concerned in so far as it states that he is using Sidhartha's death for meeting one's political ends. The letter may thus transgress the Linlits of fair comment and may deter the member from discharging his duties.

I am therefore of the opinion that a prim-facie case is made out by the lattez- in question. I therefore refer the matter to the Committee on Privileges, for examination, investigation and report. 7 111. Shri V. D. Chodankar, M. L. A. was suspended from the service of the House

IV. Ruling by the Speaker. Hon'ble Speaker gave the following ruling: - 4'

"As promised on Friday, the 18th April, 1980, I rise to giv ruling on the point of order raised by Hon. Member Shri Herculano Dourad 1 on notices of Bills tabled by him proposing to enhance the salaries of Dy. Speaker, Ministers and Members of this Assembly;

Notices of Bills received are examined by our Department with a view to ensure that the Bill conforms to the various provisions of the Govt. of Union territories Act and Rules. When the Bill satisfies all the requirements as mentioned in the Book on Practice and Procedure of Parliament by Kaul & Shak- dher, a Bill number is indicated a t the top of the Bill and the cover and docket pages are prepared and attached to the Bill. One of the points for examination before introduction is whether recommendation of the Administrator is required either for introduction or consideration of the Bill under any of the provisions of the Govt. of Union territories Act. A3 pointed by the Member the amendment to the Salaries and Allowances of Members of the Legislative Assembly Act, tabled by him will attract only section 23(3) of the Govt. of Union Territories Act as the Bill only involves expenditure from the consolidated fund. But as far as the other two Bills are concerned the position is diferent. As per section 3 of the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of the Speaker and Dy. Speaker Act, 1964 the Speaker shall be paid such salary as are provided for a Minister under the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of Ministers Act, 1964, Hence any enhancement to the salary of the Minister will automatically amount to increase in salary of Speaker. Salary of Speaker and Dy. Speaker are charged on the consolidated fund and as such amendments proposing to increase the salary of Speaker and- the Dy. Speaker will amount to increase in the expenditure charged on the consolidated fund. The amendment to the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of Ministers which also amounts to increase of salary of Speaker and the amendment to the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of Speaker and Dy. Speaker Act proposing increase in salary of Dy. Speaker will thus attract section 23(l)(d) of the Govt. of Union Territories Act and the recommendation of the Administrator is therefore required for their introduction in the Legislative Assembly. In view of this position the amendment to the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of Ministers Act and the amendment to the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of the Speaker and Dy. Speaker Act cannot be introduced in the Assembly without the recommendation of the Administrator. Coming to the amendment to the Salaries and

Allowances of Members of the Legislative Assembly Act, though such a Bi prd- posing to provide pension to p e Hon. Members was allowed to be introduce a, during first session, 1979 without obtaining the recommendation of the Adminis-

, trator, I differ on the point mainly because as quoted by me from Kaul & Shak- dher a Bill requiring recommendation of the Administrator for consideration in the Assembly can be given a Bill number and sent for printing with cover and docket page only when the requirement of recommendation is satisfied. It is obvious that we cannot introduce a bill without having registered and given a Bill No. Even if a Bill is introduced it will not serve any purpose if it is stalled a t the consideration stage for want of recommendation of the Administrator. . With this view in mind and also in order to save the precious time of the House the Goa, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of Members of the Legislative Assembly (Amendment) Bill, 1980 tabled by Shri Herculano Dourado was not included in the list of Business for introduction. As far as the other two bills are concerned as already pointed out by me they will attract section 23(1) of the Govt. of Union Territories Act, and thus cannot be introduuced without the previous recommendation of the Administrator.

All the 3 Bills have been referred by me to the Administrator and I have not yet received them. / V. Discussion and voting on Demands fordGrants for the year 1980-81.
