Now Mickky's Notary bites the dust 2010-06-22 Social activist Adv. Aires Rodrigues discovered under the Right to Information Act that Margao based Adv. Joey Rodrigues’s licence as Notary had expired on 10th October 2009. In view of this all documents notarized by Notary Joey Rodrigues from 10th October2009 to date are invalid including the affidavit of absconding former Tourism Minister Micky Pacheco which was notarized by Notary Joey Rodigues on 14th June this month.
The Affidavit sworn before Notary Joey Rodrigues at Margao on June 14th has been submitted by Mr. Micky Pacheco to the High Court along with his anticipatory bail application. The Head of Notary Sevices that the Government informed Adv. Aires Rodrigues that he did not renew the license of Notary Joey Rodrigues as there is a disciplinary enquiry pending against him. The State Registrar and Head of Notary Services is conducting a inquiry on the directions of the Law Secretary following a complaint filed by one Mr. Joao Pereira of Utorda against Adv. Joey Rodrigues for forging and manipulation a Power of Attorney committed by him in his capacity as Notary. Now having been found to be operating as a Notary without a valid license Notary Joey Rodrigues would face criminal action for violating the law. Sec 9 of the Notaries Act mandates that no person shall practice as a notary unless he holds a valid certificate of practice issued to him. Section 12 of the Act further states that any person who falsely represents that he is a notary without having a valid licence shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three months, or with fine, or with both. It is increasingly looking like nothing good comes out of a friendship with the beleagured Mickky Pacheco. The first to succumb to the Mickky hex was good friend Nadia Torrado. Then his friend and confidante and general dogbody who cleaned up after him after every crisis OSD Lyndon Monteiro. Lyndon must be wondering what hit him. Special Duties got so special that it ended up with Lyndon on the lam and the cops hounding him with a stint in a jail cell staring him in the face. Now Masquerading-As-Notary Joey Rodrigues is going to get a whack from the long arm of the law. http://targetgoa.com/newsd-Now-Mickky-s-Notary-bites-the-dust-496 -- DEV BOREM KORUM Gabe Menezes.
