111. Ruling by the Speaker<br />
The Speaker addressed the House on the extraction of sand as under:<br />
"Honourable Members, Shii Herculano Dourado and Francisco Monte Cruz<br />
had brought to the attention of the Honourable Chief Minister the grave<br />
problem posed by the indiscriminate extraction of sand by holders of mining<br />
leases granted by the Government by a calling attention notice on 1st April, 1980.<br />
It was brought to the notice of the House that uncontrolled extraction of<br />
sand is destroying vast areas of land along the coast posing danger to the<br />
people around. There has been also a, great deal of resentment and alarm from<br />
the people residing in the affected villages on account of this indiscriminate<br />
sand extraction and inaction on the part of the Authorities to curb the situation.<br />
The Authorities have sat, so far as silent spectators to the whole situation<br />
although they are aware through their agencies, of the problem. The Hydro-<br />
grapher in his report to the Captain of Ports after carrying out a necessary<br />
site inspection of the areas, has pointed out that there were various breaches<br />
of the terms of the lease committed by the extractors. In addition, he has also<br />
pointed out that vast damage is caused to properties surrounding the areas<br />
where mining leases have been granted. He has also mentioned that no minor<br />
mineral lease can be granted within a distance of 400 mts. from the beaches .<br />
in terms of the Notification bearing No. 5-108/75-IPD dated 6-11-1975. The<br />
Captain of Ports vide letter of 22nd March, 1980, addressed to the Secretary,<br />
Industries and Labour Department, has cautioned that further damage would .<br />
be caused if the lesee's were allowed to extract sand until the expiry of the<br />
leases.<br />
The Chief Town Planner had addressed a letter on 3rd May, 1978, to the<br />
Development Commissioner and Chairman of Environmental Committee, Go-<br />
vernment of <strong>Goa</strong>, Daman and Diu, and again in 'a letter of 27th August, 1977,<br />
to the Revenue Secretary made a fervent request to the Industries and Mines<br />
Department to immediately stop this extraction of sand and save the beaches<br />
and the surrounding agricultural lands from permanent damage before it is<br />
too late.<br />
There have been resolutions of Panchayats of villages where the sand<br />
is being extracted, to stop the said activity. I have perused all these Reports<br />
and given due consideration to the views expressed by the Members of this<br />
House. I am of the view that it is incumbent upon the <strong>Goa</strong> Government to act<br />
immediately to protect the unfortunate people living on the sea coast from<br />
the danger posed to life and property. I would, therefore, urge the Government<br />
to take recourses to the provisions of law including Section 133 of the Criminal<br />
Procedure Code to suspend in the first instance all operations of sand extraction<br />
along the coast and thereafter make the necessary arrangements to cancel the<br />
said leases. Furthermore, to direct the department concerned to process claims<br />
from the owners for damages to their dwelling houses and property including<br />
coconut and cashew plantation as also to level the entire excavated area to<br />
ensure that tidal water and rain water are not filled up as recommended in<br />
the Hydrographer's report dated 19th March, 1980.<br />
I have given this ruling after due consideration of the opinions and sen-<br />
timents expressed by the Members of this House and all the reports submitted
y the Authorities above as also technical experts in the matter. This rulin<br />
is not only the unanimous expression of the sentiments of the Members<br />
this House but it is the collective wisdom and will of this House"<br />

lation (Amendment) Bill, 1980 by Shri Hemulano Dourado, MLA; was<br />
introduced.
ii) Bill No. 3 of 1980-The <strong>Goa</strong>, Daman and Diu Buildings (Lease, Reht<br />
\<br />
and Eviction) Control (<strong>Fifth</strong> Amendment) Bill, 1980 by $hri Luizinho Faleiro;<br />
MLA; was withdrawn with the leave of the House at the consideration stage\-=<br />
of the Bill.<br />
i) Resolution No. 53 by Shri C. U. Chodankar:<br />
"This House strongly. recommends Government to set up an Agricultural<br />
College to impart training and to provide research facilities in modern agricultural<br />
techniques at Navelim, being near to the Salauli Irrigation Project."<br />
The Resolution proposed. Three members took part in the debate. The resolution<br />
was withdrawn with the leave of the House.<br />
ii) Resolution No. 96 by Shri D. F. Desai.<br />
"This House strongly recommends Govt. to take upon the work of laying<br />
the road Telaulii Dialgon-Coldem which was handed over to P.W.D. in 1976<br />
by Telaulim Panchayat."<br />
Speaker gave the following ruling on a letter given by Shri Luizinho<br />
Faleiro, M.L.A. who had tabled identical resolution as that of Resolution No. 96.<br />
"I have received a letter from Hon. Member Shri Luizinho Faleiro requesting<br />
mti to allow him to move Resolution No. 96 standing in the name of Shri Dilkush<br />
Desai in today's list of business as Shri Dilkush Desai is not likely to attend<br />
the Session today and also because he has tabled an identical resolution. The<br />
Hon. Member has requested me to invoke Rule 285.<br />
If the Hon. Member Shri Dilkush Desai had given authority to Shri Faleiro,<br />
Shri Faleiro could have very well moved the Resolution under Rule 106 of the<br />
1Wes of Procedure. Now the point before us is whether in the absence of such<br />
authority Shri Faleiro can move the Resolution, on the ground that he has given<br />
notice of an identical resolution.<br />
Notices of Resolution are tabled under Rule 99 of the Rules of Procedure<br />
and under Rule 115 the relative precedence of the notices of Resolution are<br />
determined by ballot in accordance with the direction of the Speaker.<br />
When identical or substantially similar questions of notices of calling atten-<br />
tions etc. are received from sevwal members we are consolidating such notices<br />
and the names of the members who have given notices are brackated thereto. But<br />
as far as resolutions are concerned, we are not bracketing the names of members<br />
but such notices are given separate numbers and included in the ballot. While<br />
taking the ballot if two identical notices come, the second one is cancelled and<br />
chance is being given to have five resolutions on different subjects. Similarly<br />
when a resolution is moved, identical notices of resolutions are excluded while<br />
taking the subsequuent ballots of the same session.<br />
It is also stated at page 769 of Volume II of Practice of Procedure by Kaul<br />
& Shakdher as under:<br />
"Where two or more members give separate notices of an identical<br />
motion or on the same matter, the names of all such members are bracketed<br />
on the admitted notice, the names of the members iater se being arranged<br />
in'the ordw in which notices are received in point of'time, or in the order<br />
/
i<br />
-.<br />
- 25 -<br />
?-. --* determined by ballot, as the case may be. The right of moving the motion<br />
in such cases belong in the first instance the member whose name appears<br />
first on the list." ,<br />
Further it is stated in the foot-note of the same book by mutual agreement<br />
among the members, a member whose notice is not the first in the point of time,<br />
may be allowed to raise a discussion.<br />
As our Rule is silent about the notices of identical resolutions, I think this<br />
is a fit case to invoke Rule 285. I, therefore, allow the member to move the<br />
resolution by invoking Rule 285."<br />
Resolution No. 96 pr~posed.<br />
lution was withdrawn 9th the leave of<br />
k part in the de'bate. The Wo-<br />

11. Ruling by the SpeaEer. i.<br />
Q -<br />
Hon. Speaker gave the following ruling on the breach of privilege notice given<br />
by Shri A. N. Naik, regarding a letter by Mrs. Usha Sharad Vengurlekar published<br />
in 'Navprabha' in its issue dated 10th April, 1980.<br />
"On 11th April, 1980 Hon. Member Shri A. N. Naik has invited our attention<br />
to a letter by Mrs. Usha Sharad Vengurlekar published in "Navprabha" in<br />
its lssue dated 10th April, 1980. He has given a n&~ce un&r Rule 74 of<br />
Procedure alleging serious breach of privilege and gross contempt of the House<br />
by the letter in question. It is his contention that the verbal onslaught<br />
against one M. L. A. is directed against himself lfbly ta intimidate and<br />
discourage him in discharging the duties of the Legislator witho~ut fear or<br />
favour. Further by stating that Siddharth's death is being used for political<br />
puwe, the lettw casts aspersions in the legislative work of the concerned<br />
M.L.A.<br />
I have obtained an official version of the impugned letter which reads as<br />
Wer :<br />
"To capitalise on death of Sidhartha for political ends amounts to dis-<br />
respect to feelings of Bandocikar family.<br />
It pained and suiyrised me to read the that last week in the<br />
<strong>Goa</strong> Assesmbly sescion the ruling party members demanded that the por-<br />
trait of late Bhau be removed from the <strong>Assembly</strong> Hall and' rqlaced by<br />
Prime Minister. I need not tell <strong>Goa</strong>ns how he worked for them., He was<br />
the first Chief Minister of Gm. and first leader of the House. Hence be<br />
deserves the respect.<br />
Another MLA demanded enquiry. into the death of Sidhartha.<br />
Sidhartha .was not a political man, so that this MLA every now and<br />
then should make use of Sidhartha's death for his political ends. Moreover<br />
what cam be achieved through an enquiry?<br />
Sidhartha was the only dear brother among seven d us.<br />
Its cmly we who are baring the pangs of separaticvn, due to his loss.<br />
It amounts to disrespect to the feelings of us-members of Bandodkar<br />
family to use his death for meeting ones political ends. This tendency is not<br />
at bt civMsed and nable,<br />
If these MLAs desire to serve pmple), they should co-0p~l"ab with<br />
Chid Minist% Shri Rane off and on instead of coming in way of his cow<br />
tructive work.<br />
I appeal to my <strong>Goa</strong>n brethren not to encourage such mischivom ten-<br />
dencies.<br />
Mrs. Zfsha Sharad Vmgurlekm,<br />
BOMBAY
',<br />
Under Section 16(3) of the Government of Union Territories Act, the powers<br />
/ /$rIYiieges and immunities of the <strong>Legislative</strong> Asmbly of Union territory and of<br />
the members of the Committees thereof shall be such as are for the time being<br />
enjbyed the House of the People and its members and committees. As stated<br />
in the Book of Practice and Procedure of Parliament by Kaul & Shakdher<br />
speaches and writings reflecting on the House or its Committees or members<br />
are punished by the House as a contempt on the principle that such acts tend to<br />
obstruct the- House in the performance of their functions by diminishing the res-<br />
pect due to them.<br />
However, it is also established that fair comment on Parliamentary Conduct<br />
of Members does not amount to a breach of privilege. But so far no guide-lines<br />
have been laid down as to what constitutes fair comment. Each case must stand<br />
upon its own facts and circumstances and if corruption is alleged or suggested<br />
or improper motives are attributed the House would clearly bet well within its<br />
rights, in dealing with the matter as a contempt.<br />
The impugned letter describes the speech of the member demanding enquiry<br />
into the death of Sidhartha as not at all civilised and noble. Further it appeals<br />
to the <strong>Goa</strong>ns not to encourage such mischivous tendencies thereby describing the<br />
speach as rnischivcuus.<br />
The letter morewer imputes malafides to the Hon. Member concerned in so<br />
far as it states that he is using Sidhartha's death for meeting one's political<br />
ends. The letter may thus transgress the Linlits of fair comment and may deter<br />
the member from discharging his duties.<br />
I am therefore of the opinion that a prim-facie case is made out by the<br />
lattez- in question. I therefore refer the matter to the Committee on Privileges,<br />
for examination, investigation and report. 7<br />

Notices of Bills received are examined by our Department with a view to<br />
ensure that the Bill conforms to the various provisions of the Govt. of Union<br />
territories Act and Rules. When the Bill satisfies all the requirements as men-<br />
tioned in the Book on Practice and Procedure of Parliament by Kaul & Shak-<br />
dher, a Bill number is indicated at the top of the Bill and the cover and docket<br />
pages are prepared and attached to the Bill. One of the points for examination<br />
before introduction is whether recommendation of the Administrator is required<br />
either for introduction or consideration of the Bill under any of the provisions<br />
of the Govt. of Union territories Act. A3 pointed by the Member the amendment<br />
to the Salaries and Allowances of Members of the <strong>Legislative</strong> <strong>Assembly</strong> Act,<br />
tabled by him will attract only section 23(3) of the Govt. of Union Territories<br />
Act as the Bill only involves expenditure from the consolidated fund. But as far<br />
as the other two Bills are concerned the position is diferent. As per section 3 of<br />
the <strong>Goa</strong>, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of the Speaker and Dy. Speaker<br />
Act, 1964 the Speaker shall be paid such salary as are provided for a Minister<br />
under the <strong>Goa</strong>, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of Ministers Act, 1964,<br />
Hence any enhancement to the salary of the Minister will automatically amount<br />
to increase in salary of Speaker. Salary of Speaker and Dy. Speaker are char-<br />
ged on the consolidated fund and as such amendments proposing to increase the<br />
salary of Speaker and- the Dy. Speaker will amount to increase in the expen-<br />
diture charged on the consolidated fund. The amendment to the <strong>Goa</strong>, Daman and<br />
Diu Salaries and Allowances of Ministers which also amounts to increase of<br />
salary of Speaker and the amendment to the <strong>Goa</strong>, Daman and Diu Salaries and<br />
Allowances of Speaker and Dy. Speaker Act proposing increase in salary of Dy.<br />
Speaker will thus attract section 23(l)(d) of the Govt. of Union Territories Act<br />
and the recommendation of the Administrator is therefore required for their<br />
introduction in the <strong>Legislative</strong> <strong>Assembly</strong>. In view of this position the amendment<br />
to the <strong>Goa</strong>, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of Ministers Act and the<br />
amendment to the <strong>Goa</strong>, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of the Speaker<br />
and Dy. Speaker Act cannot be introduced in the <strong>Assembly</strong> without the recom-<br />
mendation of the Administrator. Coming to the amendment to the Salaries and
Allowances of Members of the <strong>Legislative</strong> <strong>Assembly</strong> Act, though such a Bi prdposing<br />
to provide pension to pe Hon. Members was allowed to be introduce<br />
during first session, 1979 without obtaining the recommendation of the Adminis- a,<br />
, trator, I differ on the point mainly because as quoted by me from Kaul & Shakdher<br />
a Bill requiring recommendation of the Administrator for consideration in<br />
the <strong>Assembly</strong> can be given a Bill number and sent for printing with cover and<br />
docket page only when the requirement of recommendation is satisfied. It is<br />
obvious that we cannot introduce a bill without having registered and given a<br />
Bill No. Even if a Bill is introduced it will not serve any purpose if it is stalled<br />
at the consideration stage for want of recommendation of the Administrator. .<br />
With this view in mind and also in order to save the precious time of the House<br />
the <strong>Goa</strong>, Daman and Diu Salaries and Allowances of Members of the <strong>Legislative</strong><br />
<strong>Assembly</strong> (Amendment) Bill, 1980 tabled by Shri Herculano Dourado was not<br />
included in the list of Business for introduction. As far as the other two bills<br />
are concerned as already pointed out by me they will attract section 23(1) of<br />
the Govt. of Union Territories Act, and thus cannot be introduuced without the<br />
previous recommendation of the Administrator.<br />
All the 3 Bills have been referred by me to the Administrator and I have<br />
not yet received them. /<br />
