follows:-

The Complainant Tmt. Narayani, D/o. Mariyappan, is residing at No.101,

9th Street, Villivakkam, Chennai – 49. The Complainant Tmt. Narayani’s mother
Tmt. Kumudha had expired. The complainant and her sister were spinsters and
were residing along with their grandmother Tmt. Kamalammal. During the year

to the complainant and her elder step mother Tmt. Maheswari by way of
Settlement Deed considering their future. At this stage, the complainant had
decided to sell the above land and she had approached his friend Thiru. Sathish

above property for Rs.4.2 Crores and they have paid totally Rs.8 Lakhs as
advance amount and they have registered a General Power of Attorney for the
above property on 14.02.2020. Since they have not paid the remaining amount,
the complainant contacted Thiru. Mohamed Hanifa regarding the same and he
did not give proper reply for several days. Hence, the complainant after giving
information to Thiru. Mohamed Hanifa cancelled the above General Power of
Attorney on 30.06.2021. Later, the complainant had fixed a rate of Rs.5.6
Crores to Tmt. Bhanu, through Thiru. Mohan and gave a General Power of
 7

Attorney to her. Later. Thiru. Mohan sent to prison due to his circumstances. At
this stage, Thiru. Mohamed Hanifa, Thiru. Gowthamaraj and Thiru. Rahman were
threatening the complainant and were attempted to grab the complainant’s
property. Hence, the complainant’s friend Thiru. Sathish and his friend Thiru.
Prakashraj have approached the accused Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint Ramesh and
Thiru. Magesh @ Nagercoil Ramesh to settle the above matter. Both the above
accused told Thiru. Prakashraj that they would settle the matter amicably for
which they should pay the commission after giving the amount to the owner of
the property. Later, all of them removed the locks which were put by Thiru.
Mohamed Hanifa and replaced the same with their own locks. After some days,
the complainant got introduced to Thiru. Bright through Thiru. Prakashraj. Thiru.
Bright assured them that he would sell the property and he fixed the rate for the
above property with his Church Pastor and the sale deed was registered on
06.04.2023 at the Office of the Sub Registrar. But, due to some reasons the
above Sale deed was kept pending. Later, they have received the above Sale
Deed on 10.04.2023 and while they were proceeding to handing over the above
Sale deed and collect the money from the Church Pastor, the accused Thiru.
Ramesh @ Mint Ramesh and Thiru. Magesh @ Nagercoil Ramesh threatened
them to come and pay the money there. When they told them not to create
problem there, the accused left the spot. Later, the complainant received Rs.45
Lakhs on 10.04.2023 at about 1600 hours and reached her spot near
Thathankuppam fish market at about 1630 hours. At that time, Tmt.

were present there along with the complainant. The accused Thiru. Ramesh @
Mint Ramesh and Thiru. Magesh @ Nagercoil Ramesh who came to know about
the presence of the complainant at the above spot and came there in a car along
with their associates armed with deadly weapons. Noticing the above gang, the
 8

complainant was frightened. At that time, the accused Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint
Ramesh scolded the complainant in filthy language and threatened her by
uttering, “Xj;jh njtoah Kz;l vdJ g’;if gpupj;J bfhLf;fhky; up$p!;l;nu&d; Koj;J tpl;L

bag from her. When the complainant refused to give the bag, the accused
pushed her down. At the same time, the rowdy accused Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint
Ramesh took away the bag containing cash. When the complainant, Tmt.
Annapoorani, Tmt. Maheswari and others raised hue and cry, the accused Thiru.
Ramesh @ Mint Ramesh and Thiru. Magesh @ Nagercoil Magesh threatened the
complainant by uttering, “Xj;jh njtoah Kz;l vd;d ahUd;D bjupahjh. eh’;f ,uz;L ngUk;

Korattur Police Station Crime No.332/2023 u/s 294(b), 341, 506(ii), 392 r/w 397
IPC and taken up for investigation.

The Inspector of Police enquired complainant Tmt. Narayani and recorded

her statement. Then, the Inspector of Police rushed to the spot, prepared rough
 9

sketch and observation mahazar in the presence of witnesses, examined the

witnesses and recorded their statements.

After due investigation, the Inspector of Police has arrested the accused
Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint Ramesh on 30.05.2023 at about 0430 hours in the early
morning at No.129/130, 11th Block, Mogappair East and enquired. On enquiry,
the accused Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint Ramesh admitted that he was involved in the

557/2023 and T-3 Korattur P.S. Cr. No.366/2023. The confessional statement of
the accused was recorded in the presence of the witnesses. Based on the
confession statement of the accused, the Inspector of Police seized an Innova
Crysta car bearing Reg. No.TN-13-AA-9 from the above spot concerned in T-3
Korattur P.S. Cr. No.332/2023 from the accused Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint Ramesh

witnesses.

Based on the confession statement of the accused Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint

Ramesh, the Inspector of Police has arrested the accused Thiru. Magesh @
Nagarcoil Magesh on 30.05.2023 at about 1400 hours near Thirumangalam
Signal and enquired. On enquiry, the accused Thiru. Magesh @ Nagarcoil
Magesh admitted that he was involved in the above said offence apart from
involving in Cr. Nos.528/2023, 556/2023 and 557/2023 and T-3 Korattur P.S.
Cr.No.366/2023. The confessional statement of the accused was recorded in the

 10

No.332/2023 from the accused Thiru. Magesh @ Nagercoil Magesh at the above
spot under the cover of mahazars in the presence of the witnesses.

Further, the arrest intimation of the accused Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint

Ramesh was given to his wife Tmt. Lalitha on the same day. Later, the
Inspector of Police produced accused Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint Ramesh and Thiru.
Magesh @ Nagercoil Magesh before the Court of Judicial Magistrate, Ambattur,
Chennai, on 30.05.2023 who ordered the accused to be remanded till
13.06.20203 and lodged them at Central Prison, Puzhal, Chennai, as remand
prisoners. The investigation of the case is not yet over. The offences under
Sections 294(b), 341, 392, 297 and 506(ii) IPC relate to scolding in filthy
language, wrongful restraint, committing robbery and criminal intimidation as
such punishable under chapters XIV, XVI and XXII of the Code. Hence, I am
satisfied that Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint Ramesh who is committing crimes has
already come to adverse notice in four cases and in the ground case he has
acted in a manner prejudicial to the maintenance of public order and as such he
is a Goonda as contemplated under Section 2(f) of the Tamil Nadu Act 14 of
1982. By committing the above described grave crime, in the public, in a busy
road cum residential and business area, in the busy evening time, he has created
alarm and a feeling of insecurity in the minds of the people of the area and
thereby acted in a manner prejudicial to the maintenance of public order.

4. I am aware that Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint Ramesh is in remand in T-1

Ambattur Police Station Cr. Nos.528/2023, 556/2023 and 557/2023 and T-3
Korattur Police Station Crime Nos.332/2023 and 366/2023. He has moved a bail
applications for T-1 Ambattur Police Station Cr. No.528/2023 and T-3 Korattur
Police Station Crime No.366/2023 before the Court of Judicial Magistrate,
 11

Ambattur, Chennai, in Crl. M.P. Nos.2110/2023 and 3038/2023 and the same are
pending. He has moved a bail application for T-3 Korattur Police Station Crime
No.332/2023 before the Court of Principal District Sessions Judge, Thiruvallur, in
Crl. M.P. No.2307/2022 and the same is pending. He has not moved any bail
applications for T-1 Ambattur Police Station Crime Nos.556/2023 and 557/2023.
The sponsoring authority has stated that it is learnt that the relatives of Thiru.
Ramesh @ Mint Ramesh are taking action to take him out on bair in T-1
Ambattur Police Station Crime Nos.556/2023 and 557/2023 by filing bail
application before the appropriate court. In a similar case registered at under
Section 294(b), 341, 323, 397, 336, 427 and 506(ii) IPC, in J-4 Kotturpuram
Police Station Crime No.43/2018, the bail was granted by the Court of Principal
Session Judge at Chennai in Crl. M.P. No.1759/2018. Hence, I infer that is very
likely of his coming out on bail in T-1 Ambattur Police Station Cr. No.528/2023
and T-3 Korattur Police Station Cr. Nos.332/2023 and 366/2023 and there is real
possibility of his coming out on bail in T-1 Ambattur Police Station Crime
Nos.556/2023 and 557/2023, since in similar case bail is granted by the court
after a lapse of time. If he comes out on bail, he will indulge in further activities,
which will be prejudicial to the maintenance of public order. Further the
recourse to normal criminal law would not have the desired effect of effectively
preventing him from indulging in such activities, which are prejudicial to the
maintenance of public order. On the materials placed before me, I am fully
satisfied that the said Thiru. Ramesh @ Mint Ramesh is also a Goonda and that
there is a compelling necessity to detain him in order to prevent him from
indulging in such further activities in future which are prejudicial to the
maintenance of public order under the provisions of the Tamil Nadu Act 14 of
1982.
