Dissatisfied with the ruling paving the way for a full hearing of the challenge which had been filed by the Police Service Commission (PSC) to the suspension of its Commissioners and the non-promotion of ranks, the Attorney General (AG) has filed an appeal to the Full Court.
In his appeal seeking to set aside/reverse Justice Gino Persaud’s ruling, AG Anil Nandlall SC is contending among other things that the judge misinterpreted, and misapplied “the important” doctrine of public interest litigation, to such an extent that it resulted in a “grave” miscarriage of justice.
To the other aspect of Justice Persaud’s ruling which found the former Chairman of the Commission as having sufficient standing in the case, to substitute as applicant for the now-expired body, Nandlall contends that the judge also misdirected himself.
