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,

Court cannot give any direction contrary to the relevant Act and Rules:
In the instant case no legal right or statutory right has been created in
favour of the writ petitioner to get lease of the ‘Balumahal’ in
question and the concerned authority refrains to perform its legal or
statutory duty. Mere deposition of the cost for hydrographic survey by the
petitioner with the approval of court ipso facto does not create any legal
or vested right in his favour. The writ petitioner did not come before the
court to establish any public right but only to serve his selfish ends. A
writ of mandamus cannot be indulged for such a purpose. Further, Court
cannot give any direction which is contrary to the relevant Act and Rules.

Constitution of Bangladesh
Article 102 and
বালুমহাল ও মাটি ব্যবস্থাপনা
আইন ২০১০
Section 9
The High Court Division cannot assume the power and jurisdiction of a
particular authority conferred by a specific law/statute in exercising
power under Article 102 of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of
Bangladesh and thus, the High Court cannot declare a particular area as
"Balumahal" making a particular law i.e. Ain 2010 nugatory or redundant.
Thus, in this particular case the High Court Division has traveled beyond
its jurisdiction declaring the mouzas in question as "Balumahal".

A ‘Balumahal’ shall be leased out through open tender, and after
acceptance of lease proposal, concerned Deputy Commissioner would execute
lease agreement in specific manner and procedure and after receiving the
lease money the possession of leased ‘Balumahal’ will be handed over to
the lessor. But the High Court Division making the Ain, 2010 nugatory most
illegally and arbitrarily leased out the mouzas in questions to the writ
petitioner for extracting sand. The High Court Division, in fact, had
played the role of the lessor, which it cannot do. ...Bangladesh & ors Vs.
