Writing 'Trespassers will be shot' on armed forces' premises not proper: Allahabad HC
Prayagraj (UP), Jun 6: The Allahabad High Court has observed that writing "Trespassers will be shot" on premises belonging to the armed forces for the purpose of security is not proper.
Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav made the above observation while granting bail to Etvir Limbu, a Nepali national apprehended for illegally entering into an Air Force Station here in an intoxicated condition in February.
"These type of words have a bad impact on the children, so the Central Government may take caution in writing these types of words. Light words should be used in place of 'Trespassers will be shot' and 'dekhte hi goli maar di jayegi'," the court said in its order dated May 31, 2024.
It was submitted on behalf of applicant Limbu that he has been falsely implicated in the case. He "unintentionally" reached Manauri Air Force Station, and since the applicant was in an intoxicated condition and had no knowledge of Hindi, he could not explain properly to the posted soldier and his identity card was lost.
Earlier, the court had asked for guidelines about such writings on premises.
"As per aforesaid guidelines of the above affidavit of compliance, it is true that trespassers are not allowed to enter into premises of armed forces for the purpose of security, but the language mentioned as 'dekhte hi goli maar di jayegi', in my opinion, is not proper, particularly, where the installation of armed forces is situated in a public place where the general public and children pass.
"These type of words have a bad impact on the children so the Central Government may take caution in writing these types of words," the court stated.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
