APPOINTMENT OF PRESIDENT OF GOA ADMINSTRATIVE TRIBUNAL: HC ADJOURNS PIL TO NEXT WEDNESDAY
The Panaji Bench of the Bombay High Court comprising of Justice V.C Daga and Justice PV Hardas today adjourned to next Wednesday the final hearing on the Public Interest Litigation filed by Adv. Aires Rodrigues challenging the appointment of Mr. Zoivonta Esvonta Porobo as the President of Goa Administrative Tribunal. Initiating his arguments when the matter came for final hearing today the Petitioner Adv. Aires Rodrigues submitted that petition has been filed in the interest of administration of justice and to see to it that the provisions of the Constitution are complied especially whilst making appointments to judicial posts and that the Petition is in public interest and in the interest of legal fraternity of Goa. Adv. Rodrigues further submitted that the appointment of President of Administrative Tribunal could not have been made without consultation with the High Court and that by doing so the independence of Administrative Tribunal has been impaired and the confidence of the people in it and in the judiciary stands shaken since the constitutional requirement of an independent judiciary must apply to all institutions that administer justice. Arguing on behalf of the Goa Government Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni submitted that the whole issue was under the active consideration of the Government and that a decision would be taken soon. The Bench appointed Adv. M.B.D'Costa as amicus -curiae to help the Court decide the matter. Adv. Manohar S. Usgaonkar represented Mr. Zoivonta Esvonta Porobo. Mr. Porobo has already been restrained from hearing or disposing any matters except urgent applications. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
