Goa's former Tourism Minister Micky Pacheco and his PA Lyndon Monteiro’s attempt to get anticipatory bail has demonstrated that the rich and powerful cannot trick their way through the judicial system. They are both prime accused in the recent death of one of Micky Pacheco's girl friends Nadia Torrado.Lyndon’s first bail application in the High Court was filed against the rules while Micky’s affidavit accompanying his application was notarized by a notary who was not empowered to do so. Their venture to seek bail from the High Court started in Court Room No 3, continued in Court room No 2 and crashed in Court from No1. They now have the option to either move the Supreme Court or surrender. They should both realize that Courts are not Casinos where they can gamble their way expecting their fortune to change from one court to another. In their case from the Sessions Court to the High Court the long arm of the law has been consistent and assertive.
