Realize the royalty for the alleged extraction of sand from the petitioner– For the excavation of any kind of bed of navigable waterways or removal of sand(বালু) outside the port area, the provision of ‘বালুমহাল ও মাটি ব্যবস্থাপনা আইন, ২০১০’ will be applicable, even for the purpose of proper and smooth navigation. In this regard Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) has got no authority to deal with the matter under the Port Rules, 1966. Appellate Division has no hesitation to hold that the High Court Division has committed serious error in passing the impugned judgment and order. Before parting it is necessary to note that since 2016 the writ petitioner-respondent had extracted sand (বালু) from the mouzas in question without paying any royalty to the Government in an arbitrary manner which has already incurred a heavy financial loss to the Government. Thus, the concerned authority, in particular the Deputy Commissioner, Chandpur is directed to take necessary steps to realize the royalty for the alleged extraction of sand (বালু) from the petitioner, from the date of the judgment of the High Court Division till the date of order of stay (04.04.2022) passed by this Division. .....Ministry of Land, Bangladesh =VS= Md.
