A popular Lusignan, East Coast Demerara businessman and his wife have been cleared of fraud related charges after the virtual complainant declined to give evidence against them.
Chatterpaul Deo, called ‘Chen Singh’, and his wife, Bibi Faniza Deo, were charged for issuing two bounced cheques for goods supplied to them by a Berbice wholesaler.
The matter was first heard by Magistrate Charlyn Artiga at the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court in January.
The husband and wife were accused of taking articles valued $2M from Nand Persaud and Company Limited and issuing a bounced cheque on December 22, 2013 at Number 36 Village, Corentyne, Berbice.
They were also accused of using the same method to obtain $2.2M in articles from the same supplier two weeks later.
The couple has been in the business of buying and selling for a number of years.
However, at the second hearing of the matter, the supplier declined to offer evidence against the couple.
When the matter was called, Defence Attorney, Jerome Khan, informed the court that the complainant wished to address the court.
Nand Persaud went into the witness box and told the court that he was not proceeding with the matter. In answer to questions from the Prosecutor, the complainant said that he was not threatened or coerced to take the course of action he took.
The Magistrate then had no choice but to dismiss the case against Deo and his wife.
