Municipal Administration Ordinance, 1960
Section 58- A Municipal Committee may with the previous sanction of the Controlling Authority declare any source of water, spring, river, tank, pond, or public stream, or any part thereof within the municipality, which is not private property, to be a public water-course. Hence, it appears that private tanks are beyond the scope of the Pourasava's authority. .....Sylhet Pourashava VS Purnendu Bikas & others. [1 LM (AD) 69]
