Nadia Guyadeen in an article titled “GBA President calls for introduction of temporary judges” lamented the lack of High Court Judges and the backlog of cases that the Court faces. However, nearing the end of her article Ms. Guyadeen gets her facts wrong. In listing the 9 current High Court Judges, Nadia included the name ‘Jainarayan Singh’. Now if she had done some research, even the tiniest bit, she would have realized that Justice Singh is no longer a judge, and he hasn’t been since September 30th 2008 when he vacated the bench, without his deserved benefits I might add which Carl Singh has allegedly refused to grant him. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!! Give the man what he rightfully and legally earned, and maybe while you’re at it, don’t forget Juliet Holder Allen either.
I should note that I find the silence of Justice Singh’s former colleagues rather surprising especially considering the fact that many of them are acting judges, just as he was and I’m sure they realize that they could face the same fate, but what do I know, maybe they know where they’re benefits are coming from.
I am certain that Justice Singh does not need the benefits OWED to him but he worked for them and it’s the principle involved. Should this not be corrected, then it sets precedent, and the current High Court Judges would not like to have this as a precedent but like I said earlier, maybe they know where they’re benefits are coming from…
