Former Attorney General Anil Nandlall was yesterday granted a conservatory order by the High Court restraining the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) from taking custody of the 15 law books that he says that the PPP/C government purchased for him.
In the order, made by Justice Dawn Gregory, agents of SOCU or the Guyana Police Force are prevented from “seizing and/or detaining the property” of Nandlall which was described as “fifteen (15) Commonwealth Law Reports for the years 2012 to May, 2015.”
Yesterday’s court action follows Nandall’s questioning by agents of SOCU, on Monday, which he has described as retaliation due to his public criticisms of his successor, Basil Williams SC.
