According to Section 3 of the Tamil Nadu Prevention of Begging Act XIII of 1945, whoever is found begging shall be punishable a) for a first conviction with fine which may extend to Rs. 50 or with imprisonment which may extend to one month. b) On a second or subsequent conviction with imprisonment for a term which may extend to six month.
ReplyDeleteB. Any police officer may arrest without a warrant any person who is found begging: provided that no person entering on a private premises for the purpose of soliciting or receiving alms shall be so arrested or shall be liable to any proceedings under this act except on a complaint of the occupier of the premises.
In an attempt to eradicate the beggary menace, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Monday directed the Police Department to strictly implement the Tamil Nadu Prevention of Begging Act, 1941.
ReplyDeleteDisposing of a public interest litigation petition, a Division Bench of Justice F.M. Ibrahim Kalifulla and Justice K. Veeraraghavan said the Director-General of Police could issue appropriate instructions to all district heads. The judges said the Madurai Police Commissioner, in his counter affidavit, had "virtually admitted" the prevalence of beggary. But, the officer had claimed that there were some impediments in arresting the offenders and sending them to special homes or workhouses since the Government was yet to notify such habitats.
The petitioner, D. Muruganantham, a city advocate, placed sufficient documents to show that a government care camp for beggars was established at Melapakkam near Chennai on March 1, 1954. It was under the care of the Police Department until 1973 and now functions under the Social Welfare Department.
