The Madras High Court on Tuesday said the general secretary of Thamizh Thesiya Viduthalai Iyakkam, K.Thiagarajan, could choose either Chepauk or Valluvar Kottam to go on a fast in support of his demands, which included expelling Sri Lanka from the Commonwealth. Justice K.K.Sasidharan agreed with the city police’s contention that if the fast is permitted on the Marina, as sought for by Mr.Thiagarajan, it would cause traffic problems. The beach attracted several tourists and the functioning of various offices such as Madras University and Secretariat would be affected in case traffic comes to a standstill on the artery. Therefore, it is not possible to permit the petitioner to undertake a fast on the Marina. The petitioner should be given liberty to choose an alternative location either opposite the State Guest House at Chepauk or Valluvar Kottam. Mr.Thiagarajan sought to quash an order of the Chennai Police of September 19 denying him permission to go on an indefinite fast on the Marina from October 1 to press his demands, including that the CHOGM meeting should not be held in Colombo, and if it is held in the Sri Lankan capital, the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, should not attend it. Mr.Justice Sasidharan said there was no dispute that the police had a duty to maintain law and order, but while rejecting the request for permission, the police should indicate briefly the reasons for doing so. The State having allowed similar form of protests earlier could not take a different yardstick now. The police had enough power to impose reasonable restrictions to ensure the safety and convenience of the people at large. It appears to have taken a policy decision to ban public meetings and other agitations, fearing possible law and order problem. Each case should be decided by police considering the peculiar factual situation. nuwan1 nuwan2 nuwan3 However, the decision should not be arbitrary. Setting aside the impugned order, Mr.Justice Sasidharan issued a set of directions which included that the petitioner should give an undertaking that he would not initiate violence while organising meetings in connection with the fast. The petitioner should inform the police about the selection of location. Sri Lanka hopes to join the natural gas producing nations' club soon, after initiating talks with Cairn India on a sales agreement, which, once finalized, will lead to production from the company's offshore blocks, Saliya Wickramasuriya, Director General of the Petroleum Resources Development Secretariat, said. "We would like to be able to finalize an agreement [with Cairn India] within this year," he said in an interview with Platts. Com. "If talks with Cairn succeed and a price of mutual agreement is reached, we are looking at production around 2017-2018," he said in an interview on the sidelines of the 19th Asia Oil Week upstream conference in Singapore. Cairn India has made two gas discoveries -- Dorado and Barracuda - in the block so far. "This is a sub-Tcf discovery ... It is marginal and the only way we can make it commercial is by matching the need to the capacity," Wickramasuriya said, referring to the size of Cairn's two discoveries. The gas will be supplied to Ceylon Electricity Board's power plants, which currently run on imported fuel and gasoil. Wickramasuriya said the price will be project specific and he expects it to be "high" given that this is the first gas project off the shores of Sri Lanka. "It will be a floating price agreed mutually between the government and Cairn on the basis of their cost of production and the cost benefit to us of import substitution," he said, adding that it would be somewhere between Cairn's "lift cost and our import cost." Sri Lanka is also in talks with two majors, one of which is France's Total, on joint study agreements for the country's ultra-deepwater blocks, Wickramasuriya said. Sri Lanka in August invited bids from international oil and gas companies to explore six ultra-deepwater blocks not in the current - its second -- licensing round. Sri Lanka launched the second upstream licensing round in March, offering 13 blocks in the Cauvery and Mannar basins. The blocks will be awarded on a joint-study basis and be determined according to experience and capability as well the company's plans. Under the joint-study agreement, the winning company will be required to gather data, process and interpret it for two years, and then discuss potential next steps with the Petroleum Resources Development Committee. "The benefit to us from making these six ultra-deepwater blocks available ... is that it will give us a parallel pipeline of activity [alongside the blocks offered in the licensing round," Wickramasuriya said. "One of the things that we have learned is that in order to bring prices down and lift competitiveness, we have to increase activity. We have to open up different avenues," he said, adding that a JSA for ultra-deepwater blocks is one such avenue. The country has almost finalized a new petroleum licensing bill and will be implementing it before the end of this year, Wickramasuriya said. The new act incorporates changes recommended by a study conducted by the Petroleum Resources Unit together with consultant IHS. "The study took six months and was very exhaustive," he said. Under the new act, Sri Lanka will simplify the pre-qualification process; make it easier for people to purchase Sri Lankan data; make bid evaluations faster; and will have new, more investor friendly fiscal terms. Blocks awarded under the current licensing round will follow the new petroleum act. The bid deadline for the 13 blocks offered in the Cauvery and Mannar basins in the second licensing round is in late November and the country expects to award contracts by the end of the first quarter of 2014. Sri Lanka held its first licensing round in 2007, in which three blocks were offered, but only one awarded -- block SL 2007-01-001 in the Mannar Basin to Cairn India.akkarata giya api wathure (PRIU) This free Blogger template is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.
