AG asks court to strike out police service commission lawsuit on suspension, promotions

Anil Nandlall SC

With the life of the Police Service Commission (PSC) having expired, Attorney General (AG) Anil Nandlall SC has moved to strike out the court action initiated by the body to challenge President Irfaan Ali’s suspension of its members and complete a promotions process.

Nandlall’s contention is that since there is no Commission, there can be no lawful subsistence of any legal proceedings on its behalf.

Ali suspended the members of the Commission by letters dated June 15th, 2021. The Commission instituted proceedings on July 21st challenging the President’s suspension, which it argues was unlawfully done.
