Whether the accused can be treated as 'goonda' or not? It will be necessary to consider the meaning of word 'goonda' as provided in the Act. Section 2 (b) of the Act defines the word 'goonda' as follows:
2 (b) 'Goonda' means a person who -
(i) either by himself or as a member or leader of a gang, habitually commits or attempts to commit, or abets the commission of an offence punishable under Section 153 or Section 153-B or Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code or Chapter XV, Chapter XVI, Chapter XVII or Chapter XXII of the said Code; or
(ii) has been convicted for an offence punishable under the Suppression of Immoral Traffic in Women and Girls Act, 1956; or
(iii) has been convicted not less than thrice for an offence punishable under the U.P. Excise Act, 1910 or the Public Gambling Act, 1867 or Section 25, Section 27 or Section 29 of the Arms Act, 1959; or
(iv) is generally reputed to be a person who is desperate and dangerous to the community; or
(v) has been habitually passing indecent remarks or teasing women or girls; or
(vi) is a tout; or
(vii) is a house grabber.
15. In this case the accused has not been treated as 'goonda' on the grounds mentioned in clause 2 (b) (ii) to (vii) of the Act as referred above. He has been treated as goonda under clause 2 (b) (i) of the Act. As per definition of goonda as contained in clause 2 (b) (i) of the Act, a person can be teated as goonda only when he is habitually involved in commission of offence as mentioned therein. The word goonda carries on the meaning that a person who by habit is involved to commit repeated offences as mentioned above will be treated as 'goonda'. One or two criminal cases against a person will not be sufficient to hold him that he is habitually involved in commission of such offences and he is a 'goonda'.
16. In the case of Shankar Ji Shukla v. Ayukt, Allahabad Mandal, Allahabad and Others (supra) the word 'habitually' came for consideration before this Court. The court relying on its previous judgment in the case of Imaran @ Abdul Qaddus Khan v. State of U.P. And others reported in 2000 (Suppl.) ACC 171 (Alld) as well as the case of Vijay Narain Singh V State of Bihar and Others reported in (1984) 3 SCC 14 decided by the Hon'ble Apex Court held that a single or two acts of the accused will not be sufficient to hold that he is habitually involved in commission of the offences referred in the Act. The relevant observation of the Hon'ble court finds place in para 6 of the judgment which is being extracted below:
"..... 6. The emphasis is on the work habitual and a single or two acts after a long gap does not amount to the term 'Habitually'. The expression 'habitually' means 'repeatedly' or 'persistently'. It implies a thread of continuity stringing together similar repetitive acts. Repeated, persistent and similar, but not isolated, individual and dissimilar acts are necessary to justify an inference of habit. It connotes frequent commission of acts or omissions of the same kind. Because, the idea of 'habit' involves an element of persistence and a tendency to repeat the acts or omissions of the same kind, if the acts or omissions in question are not of the same kind or even if they are of the same kind when they are committed with a long interval of time between them, they cannot be treated as habitual ones. Learned counsel for the petitioner further relied on the case of Imaran @ Abdul Qaddus Khan V. State of U.P. And Others. In imran's case (supra), the Court relied on the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Vijay Narain Singh V. State of Bihar and Others, for defining the term 'Goonda'. It was further held in Imaran's case (supra) that even the minority view which was taken in Vijay Narain's case (supra) was that the word 'habitually' means 'by force of habit'. From the facts found above I find that the petitioner is not a habitual offender and he cannot be brought under the term 'Goonda' as defined under the Act........."
17. In this case, in counter affidavit filed by Awadhesh Kumar Awasthi, Sub Inspector, P.S. Saraini, District Raebareli, it has been specifically stated that the petitioner has a criminal history of as many as 9 cases but in the impugned notice issued by the learned Additional District Magistrate, only two cases as referred above have been mentioned therein, therefore, the criminal history of rest cases cannot be a ground to treat the petitioner as goonda which do not find place in the impugned order. If the criminal history of those cases would have been mentioned in the impugned notice, they could be considered for holding the accused as goonda. Since only two criminal cases have been referred in the impugned notice issued by the learned Additional District Magistrate to the petitioner hence only those two cases cannot be considered to determine as to whether the petitioner is goonda.
18. From a perusal of the impugned notice issued by the Additional District Magistrate, Raebareli, it appears that two criminal cases are mentioned therein. The first case is case Crime No. 345/09, under Sections 452/323/504/506/324 IPC and 3 (1) (10) SC/ST Act and the second case is case Crime No. 1029/09, under Sections 436/504/506/427 IPC and 3 (1) (10) SC/ST Act. From a perusal of the copy of the F.I.R. of these two cases, it appears that both the cases had been registered by the police in pursuant to the order passed by the Judicial Magistrate on the applications moved by the respective complainants under Section 156 (3) of the Code. It appears that the complainants of those cases had approached the police first and informed about the commission of the offence and when no F.I.R. was registered by the police then they had to move applications under Section 156 (3) of the Code before the concerned Magistrate for a direction to the S.O. of Police Station concerned to register and investigate the case against the accused. As per version of the police, the accused is a man of goonda nature and no one dares to be witness against him. If the police had got such impression against the accused, it was expected that it should have registered a case against the accused when the complainants approached before it for registration of the F.I.R. but the police did not register the case.
19. In the case of Shankar Ji Shukla v. Ayukt, Allahabad Mandal, Allahabad and Others (supra), it has been held that a person cannot be held to be 'goonda' only on the basis of one or two acts, a person can be held to be goonda only when he is in habit of committing repeated offences.
20. In this case, only two criminal cases have been shown against the accused which too were registered by the police in pursuant to the order passed by the Judicial Magistrate on the applications moved by the respective complainants under Section 156 (3) of the Code. The petitioner on the basis of these two cases cannot be said to be habitually involved in commission of offences as defined under Section 2 (1) (b) of the Act. He, therefore, cannot be held to be goonda.
21. From a perusal of the impugned judgment passed by the learned District Magistrate as well as the appellate order passed by the learned Commissioner, it appears that both the authorities fail to consider the requirement of Section 2 (1) (b) of the Act for declaring the petitioner as goonda. The impugned order passed by the learned District Magistrate, Raebareli, as well as the impugned order passed by the learned Divisional Commissioner, Lucknow, are bad in the eye of law and liable to be quashed and the writ petition deserves to succeed.
22. The writ petition is, therefore, allowed and the impugned order of externment of the petitioner dated 15.7.2010 passed by the District Magistrate, Raebareli as well as the impugned judgment and order dated 08.9.2010 passed by the Commissioner, Lucknow Division, Lucknow are hereby quashed."
