HIS EXCELLENCY

PADMASHREE Dr. D. Y. PATIL SAHEBFormer Governor of Tripura, Bihar and West Bengal

Founder President :The D.Y. Pa�l Group

There is an old adage, which goes, "One man with confidence can make a majority.” This is very apt in the

case of Dr. D.Y. Pa�l. There is no area in the field of educa�on which has been untouched by him - from

establishing schools, impar�ng basic educa�on to providing a large number of ins�tu�ons of higher

learning to the people. The Ramrao Adik Ins�tu�on of Technology (RAIT) in Navi Mumbai, established

about twenty- five years ago and the KrishiVigyan Kendra in Kolhapur bear tes�mony to this fact. The

University at the Nerul Campus is a jewel in his crown. Luminaries like Dr. Pa�l are best remembered by

their work, not by the recogni�on and awards they win. S�ll, a men�on has to be made of the �tle of

Padmashree accorded to him by the President of lndia for his undoubtedly huge contribu�on in the field

of educa�on as well as the Honorary Doctorate adorned on him by the No�ngham Trent University,

United Kingdom. He is a devout follower of Shri Saint Gajanan Maharaj of Shegaon.

HER EXCELLENCY

Late Mrs. PUSHPALATATAI D. PATIL

Mrs. Pushpalata D. Pa�l was a Secretary of the Society. She believed that the ins�tu�on

should be known by the quality educa�on provided by it. According to her the quality of the

educa�on depends not only on the best facility and good infrastructure but also on the

harmony between the students and the faculty. To achieve this goal, the organisa�on must

provide the best and state-of-the-art facili�es to the students and the staff.

Dr. Vijay D. PatilPresident Dr. D.Y. Pa�l Group

An educa�on ins�tute to be truly world class has to be solid and state of the art, when it comes to

infrastructure. The person responsible to make this happen here is Dr. Vijay Pa�l, armed with a

Bachelor's Degree in Engineering and an M.B.A. from The Bond University, Australia. Shri. Pa�l

possess the right qualifica�on and organizing capability for managing the infrastructure needs of a

group of the magnitude. A point towards his skills is the well established a state of the art, 750

bedded hospital in the university Campus worth Rs 60 crores, He created a benchmark

interna�onal stadium, which is one of the best Stadium in the world.

Moot Problem Interna�onal seas have been on high alert for last two decades. With disrup�ons in interna�onal rela�ons of several countries, there have been incidents of a�acks on commercial as well as military vessels. Dumping, environmental hazards are dealt with in a stricter manner. Piracy has been a major concern of high seas security. In this context, for an Asian country like Adian, that has sea borders three sides, mari�me security forms a high priority. On the south coast of Adian, five �ny islands form a part of popular Likawika archipelago. These islands are notorious for high piracy ac�vi�es. In the last six years, there have been incidents were commercial vessels have been damaged and its passengers held hostages for poli�cal favours. With a strong naval base on east, west and south coasts, Adian is constantly striving to keep a watch on any suspicious ac�vi�es on its water boundaries.

Yalty is a country in the Europe that has been ac�vely promo�ng safe vessel transit in interna�onal seas. It has been nego�a�ng with its neighbours for collec�ve efforts to counter piracy and to encourage freedom of naviga�on of merchant shipping. In 2011, the Republic of Yalty enacted a law in this regard.

Ar�cle 14 of the Law of Republic of Yalty No. 12 of September 2013 provides as follows:

“In order to curb the menace of piracy on interna�onal seas, the Republic of Yalty shall deploy Yal�an Military Navy Con�ngents on vessels flying the Yal�an flag.”

Ar�cle 17 of the Law of Republic of Yalty No. 12 of September 2013 further provides as follows:

“Pursuant to Ar�cle 14 above, in case of any threat to the vessels flying Yal�an flag, or its occupants, or cargo, the deployed Yal�an Military Navy Con�ngents are en�tled to exercise all powers vested in them by the Republic of Yalty. These powers shall not be affected by the admiralty laws of the country in which the vessels sail.”

In November 2013, members of Yal�an Shipowners Associa�on approached the Ministry of Defence, with a request to make mandatory provisions for Navy Personnel to accompany Yal�an ships carrying 50 or more passengers, or cargo worth 5000 Yal�an Euros or both, in piracy prone waters. Determined to take precau�onary measures, on 20 December 2013, the Republic of Yalty entered into a 'Peace over Piracy Pact' between the Naval Wing of Yal�an Defence Department and Yal�an Shipowners Associa�on.

As per the Pact, star�ng January 2014, all vessels with over 50 passengers or 5000 Yal�an Euros worth cargo or both, were ordered to enter the interna�onal waters only under the able supervision of officers of Yal�an Naval Wing.

In February 2014, one Captain Tarsico I kaila, was deployed on Yal�an vessel headed to Turkey from Adian. During this deployment, Tarsico had successfully rescued an oil tank from the pirates 60 nau�cal miles away from Adian. Whereas in April 2014, one Commander Lamore Masi�k was deployed on ammuni�ons loaded Yal�an vessel, returning to Yalty from Pir Tanka, a country neighbouring Adian. The vessel was a�acked near one of the islands from Likawika archipelago. Lamore was applauded for taking charge of the opera�on a�er the Captain was killed in firing by pirates. Lamore had succeeded in saving the vessel from any damage. In August 2014 both Tarsico and Lamore were conferred with bravery awards.

Since February 2015, various coastal parts of Asia, including southern coasts of Adian near Likawika, were declared 'extreme risk areas' owing to back to back pirate a�acks on Egypt's commercial vessels.

On 9 March 2015, a Yalty flagged commercial vessel, 'Santa Lucia' departed from port Franca, in Pingasore, a small country towards the western borders of Yalty. It was headed towards Gordona, an interna�onal commercial hub for spices and herbs. The marine deployment on Santa Lucia had Tarsico as Chief in charge and Lamore as second in command. There were 3 other marine officers under Tarsico and Lamore.

Meanwhile, on the morning of 11 March 2015, one Mr. Lee Joseph- the owner of a ship Sea Pearl, his eight assistants and a team of nine marine life researchers boarded the ship for their research expedi�on from Rakela port on the south coast of Adian. The research project was funded by Centre for Protec�on of Marin Life, Rakela. On 12 March 2015, by 12.20 pm Sea Pearl was sailing in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Adian.

By 1.45pm Santa Lucia had reached interna�onal naviga�on area towards the south of Adian. Tarsico no�ced a vessel at a distance of about 25 nau�cal miles from the coast of Rakela. Lamore ins�nc�vely reached for his weapons at the sight of this vessel. Believing it to be a pirate vessel, both Tarsico and Lamore opened con�nuous firing for about 3 minutes. There were no counter a�acks. Santa Lucia managed to safely cover 40 nau�cal miles towards high seas of Pir Tanka, when the Adian Admiralty Emergency Coordina�on Centre (AAECC) contacted Santa Lucia to confirm the incident of firing reported to it by the Adian Coast Guard Vigilance Ship. On affirma�ve response from the Ship Master of Santa Lucia, AAECC demanded that Santa Lucia's marine deployment shall immediately return and report to the port in Rakela and provide explana�on regarding the firing incident.

It was further conveyed to the Ship Master that the vessel at which Santa Lucia's marine deployment had fired, had resulted in the death of two marine life researchers – Karthik Iyer and Nishith Sundaram, whereas Fred Smith, one of Lee Joseph's assistants had suffered grave injuries.

5

On receiving the direc�ons to report to Rakela port, Santa Lucia altered its course and arrived at Rakela port on the evening of 13 March 2015. Upon docking in Rakela, a detailed enquiry was conducted in respect of the firing incident by Rakela Circle Inspector. On 14 March 2015, First Informa�on Report (F.I.R.) No.28 of 2015 was lodged in the name of Tarsico Ikaila and Lamore Masi�k under Sec�ons 302, 307 and 427 read with Sec�on 34 of the Adian Penal Code. Both the marine officers were arrested by the Rakela Coastal Police Sta�on In-Charge and kept in Judicial Custody as per orders of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rakela.

On 18 March, 2015 the Chief Tribunal Officer of Republic of Yalty communicated to the Rakela Circle Inspector, Adian Ministry of Naval Defence and the Chief Minister of Rakela that the Naval Wing of Yalty Defence Department shall immediately commence inves�ga�ons under Yal�an laws against its two Naval Officers and that they should thus be deported to Yalty. In spite of the increasing interna�onal pressure, the State of Rakela has refused to hand over the marine officers to Republic of Yalty.

A Writ Pe��on under Ar�cle 226 of the Adian Cons�tu�on is filed in Rakela High Court by the Marine Officers.

Tarsico Ikaila & Lamore Masi�k along with Republic of Yalty v. State of Rakela is thdue for hearing in the High Court of Rakela on 13 February, 2020.
