No.4475 of 2005\n             ----------------------------------------------\n                      Dated, 5th June, 2008.\n\n                               ORDER\n<\/pre>\n
     The     petitioner   herein    is the    counter petitioner   in<\/p>\n
M.C.No.148\/2004 on the file of the          Tahsildar and Executive<\/p>\n
Magistrate, Nedumangad.        By Annexure C order, in exercise of<\/p>\n
the powers vested in the Executive Magistrate under Section 133<\/p>\n
of Cr.P.C., the petitioner herein was directed to cut and remove<\/p>\n
the coconut tree within 7 days from the date of receipt of the<\/p>\n
order.  Aggrieved      by the     above order, the petitioner filed<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.No.15\/2005        before        the      Sessions      Court,<\/p>\n
Thiruvananthapuram         and the Sessions Court dismissed the<\/p>\n
same by its order dated 20-7-2005.             Challenging the above<\/p>\n
orders of the courts below,       this petition    is preferred under<\/p>\n
section 482 of the Cr.P.C. It is the case of the petitioner that<\/p>\n
though the petitioner herein had appeared before the Executive<\/p>\n
Magistrate and filed Annexure B objection, the same was not<\/p>\n
considered and no opportunity was given to substantiate his<\/p>\n
contention and therefore, the order passed by the Tahsildar and<\/p>\n
CRMC 4475\/05
\n                               -:2:-<\/span><\/p>\n
the Executive Magistrate, Nedumangad is absolutely illegal and<\/p>\n
baseless. So according to the petitioner, the Sessions Court has<\/p>\n
also failed to consider      the grievance of the petitioner.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the order passed by the revisional court as well as<\/p>\n
the Executive Magistrate are liable to be set aside.<\/p>\n
      2. I have heard the counsel for the petitioner as well as<\/p>\n
the counsel for the 2nd respondent and also the learned Public<\/p>\n
Prosecutor.\n<\/p>\n
      3. The 2nd respondent herein preferred a petition dated<\/p>\n
21-6-2004 complaining that a        coconut tree owned by the<\/p>\n
petitioner herein is standing in a dangerous position by the<\/p>\n
side of the complainant’s house causing danger to the life and<\/p>\n
property of the petitioner. The Sub Divisional Magistrate as per<\/p>\n
Annexure A order directed the petitioner under section 133 of<\/p>\n
Cr.P.C. to cut and remove the said tree within 7 days from the<\/p>\n
date of receipt of the order or to appear before the Tahsildar<\/p>\n
and Executive Magistrate Nedumangad on 25-8-2004 at 11<\/p>\n
a.m. and show cause why the preliminary order should not be<\/p>\n
made absolute. The petitioner submits that, accordingly, he<\/p>\n
CRMC 4475\/05
\n                              -:3:-<\/span><\/p>\n
had preferred Annexure B objection. Annexure B is dated 27-<\/p>\n
12-2004. Finally, by order dated 3-1-2005 in M.C.148\/2004,<\/p>\n
the   Tahsildar and Executive    Magistrate in exercise of his<\/p>\n
powers under sections 136 and 138 of Cr.P.C. directed       the<\/p>\n
petitioner herein  to cut and    remove the coconut tree     in<\/p>\n
question within 7 days from the date   or receipt of the order.<\/p>\n
Though the above order challenged in revision, the Sessions<\/p>\n
Court as per Annexure C order dismissed the revision. It is the<\/p>\n
above orders of the    courts below are challenged     in this<\/p>\n
petition.\n<\/p>\n
      4.  The learned   counsel    appearing for the petitioner<\/p>\n
submitted that though the petitioner had preferred objection,<\/p>\n
the same was not considered by the Tahsildar and Executive<\/p>\n
Magistrate and    also no opportunity was given to adduce<\/p>\n
evidence.   According to the counsel,   as per section 138 of<\/p>\n
Cr.P.C., an opportunity shall be given to adduce evidence as<\/p>\n
in the case of a summons case.\n<\/p>\n
      5.  Per contra,   the counsel for the 2nd respondent<\/p>\n
submitted that the petitioner herein has miserably    failed to<\/p>\n
CRMC 4475\/05
\n                               -:4:-<\/span><\/p>\n
make    any written objection on 25-8-2004 as directed in<\/p>\n
Annexure A preliminary order and there is no material to show<\/p>\n
that the petitioner herein had adopted any step to defend the<\/p>\n
case effectively and for adducing evidence to substantiate his<\/p>\n
contention and averments if any.\n<\/p>\n
      6. I have gone through the available materials and also<\/p>\n
considered the contentions raised by both the counsel for the<\/p>\n
petitioner as well as the 2nd respondent. It is borne out from<\/p>\n
the records that the 2nd respondent preferred the petition dated<\/p>\n
21-6-2004 and thereafter the matter is pending before various<\/p>\n
forums even though the matter has been finally decided by the<\/p>\n
Executive Magistrate as well as the revisional court.       The<\/p>\n
grievance of the petitioner is that        he was not given<\/p>\n
opportunity to adduce evidence to substantiate his grievance.<\/p>\n
From Annexure A order, it is clear that he was directed to<\/p>\n
appear before the Tahsildar and Executive Magistrate on 25-8-<\/p>\n
2004 and to show cause why the preliminary order should not<\/p>\n
be made absolute. From Annexure C order order it appears<\/p>\n
that the petitioner had appeared before the Tahsildar and<\/p>\n
CRMC 4475\/05
\n                                -:5:-<\/span><\/p>\n
Executive Magistrate on 25-8-2004, but no written objection is<\/p>\n
seen to have been filed on appearance and no request is<\/p>\n
made     for adducing   further  evidence before the     authority<\/p>\n
concerned.     It is also  seen from Annexure D order of the<\/p>\n
revisional court that the petitioner herein was not interested<\/p>\n
to defend the case effectively and he was absent while the<\/p>\n
above revision petition was disposed of. However, it is also<\/p>\n
disclosed   from the records that     before issuing Annexure A<\/p>\n
order, the Sub Divisional Magistrate had called for the report of<\/p>\n
the village Officer, Vattappara and he had furnished a report<\/p>\n
No.487\/04 and the Sub Divisional Magistrate issued Annexure A<\/p>\n
order after considering the above report. It is also pertinent to<\/p>\n
note that before passing Annexure C final order, the Tahsildar<\/p>\n
and Executive Magistrate had physically inspected the site<\/p>\n
and found     and he personally      satisfied that there is every<\/p>\n
possibility for causing danger to the life and property of the<\/p>\n
petitioner therein who is the 2nd respondent herein. It appears<\/p>\n
that after the inspection done by the Tahsildar, he had issued<\/p>\n
notice to both parties to appear before him on 27-12-2004<\/p>\n
CRMC 4475\/05
\n                               -:6:-<\/span><\/p>\n
and it was on this day the petitioner herein filed Anneuxre B<\/p>\n
objection. Though the petitioner was directed to appear and<\/p>\n
furnish the show cause on 25-8-2004, he had not chosen to<\/p>\n
file any written objection or sought time to file objection and<\/p>\n
to adduce evidence. So it seems that the petitioner is least<\/p>\n
interested in defending his case       before     the concerned<\/p>\n
authority. It is also borne out from the records that the Sub<\/p>\n
Divisional Magistrate passed Annexure A preliminary order on<\/p>\n
the basis of the report of the Village Officer, Vattappara within<\/p>\n
whose jurisdiction the parties are residing and the coconut in<\/p>\n
question standing. It is also clear as revealed by Annexutre C<\/p>\n
order that the officer who passed the order has personally<\/p>\n
inspected the site and found that there is every possibility for<\/p>\n
causing danger to the life and property of the petitioner and<\/p>\n
therefore it cannot be said that Annexure C order is issued<\/p>\n
absolutely without any basis or without considering materials<\/p>\n
or   evidence.   The two     authorities came     into the same<\/p>\n
conclusion regarding the dangerous position of the coconut<\/p>\n
tree in question. As a matter of fact, the petition was filed on<\/p>\n
CRMC 4475\/05
\n                                -:7:-<\/span><\/p>\n
25-5-2004 and thereafter four years is over. Initially, the Sub<\/p>\n
Divisional Magistrate found that it     was a fit case where     a<\/p>\n
preliminary order under section 133 of Cr.P.C. can be passed<\/p>\n
and subsequently, both the Tahsildar and Executive Magistrate<\/p>\n
and also    the revisional    court concurrently found that the<\/p>\n
coconut in question is standing in a dangerous position and<\/p>\n
therefore I am not inclined to interfere      in exercise  of the<\/p>\n
powers under section 482 of Cr.P.C with the orders passed by<\/p>\n
the Tahsildar and Executive Magistrate and also the revisional<\/p>\n
court.\n<\/p>\n
      In the result, there is no merit in the Crl.M.C., hence, the<\/p>\n
same is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
