S.C. Mohapatra, J.1. This application arises out of an appeal filed under Section 19 of the Family Courts Act, 1984 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act') against an order passed under Section 125 Cr.P.C.2.

Court: Orissa

Decided on: Nov-23-1993

Reported in: AIR1994Ori191

Hansaria, C.J. 1. Chilka. A dream land for the poets and creative artists is now in throes of trouble, leading even to 'Chilka Bachao' movement taken up by eminent persons of the State. This is because Chilka has become a 'stormy island', as a news headlined in Hindustan Times of 13-9-1993 says, and because Chilka is 'getting choked', as flashed in another news of Hindustan Times dated 26-9-1993. The net result is that Chilka, which is the largest inland brackish water-body of its kind in Asia and which used to span before eyes like a dream and offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy and rejuvenate our soul, has become an eye sore because of havocs being played by mafias who have become the real monarchs of Chilka. All this is due to 'prawn-dollar' disaser developing around Chilka, as would be seen from what is being noted later. 2. How can in such a situation Chilka, dear Chilka, provide livelihood to about one and half lakhs of people (both fishermen and non-fishermen) living in and a...
