Nirvan Singh

Attorney Nirvan Singh has lost his bid to have the criminal proceedings against him stayed, in which he is accused of unlawfully and maliciously assaulting former Police Constable Shawnette Bollers.

According to a press statement from lawyer for Bollers, Eusi Anderson, the Full Court yesterday ruled in favour of his client, that the private criminal charge she has brought against Singh will not be stayed.

Singh had applied for a stay of the proceedings against him in the Magistrate’s Court, pending the determination of the appeal.
