CHANDRA Narine Sharma, who had his television licence suspended for four months for infringement, has filed constitutional motions against the Government seeking a Conservatory and Nisi Orders from the Court.

In his affidavit in support of motions, Sharma is also seeking a declaration to the effect that that the suspension of his broadcast licence by the minister responsible for telecommunications on the 11th day of April, 2008, is a breach of the his right to secure protection of the law as guaranteed by Article 144 of the Constitution of the Cooperative of Guyana.

Represented by Attorney-at-Law, Mr. Nigel Hughes and Mr. Khemraj Ramjattan, Mr. Sharma was in Court yesterday before Justice William Ramlal.

Mr. Hughes had asked the court for an ex parte hearing and wanted at least a Nisi Order, but this was not granted.

Instead, with the agreement of the lawyers and the Court, the hearing was adjourned to this afternoon at 2 o’ clock. The judge granted an order to serve copies of the motion on the Respondent Attorney General, who is expected to appear today and to seek leave to file affidavit in answer.

Justice Ramlal listened to arguments from Mr. Hughes as they pertain to the Applicant Sharma.

The time for service was abridged by the judge who promised to hear the matter expeditiously.
