The sudden illness of former Minister of Health under the PPP regime, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran, has forced
the Magistrate to put back the date when he is to know his fate on a charge of using insulting language to a female rights activist.
Ramsaran who was appearing in the Whim Magistrate Court before Magistrate Charlene Artiga was expected to know his fate yesterday. However, he was a no show and reportedly sent a medical certificate indicating to the court that he was not well.
The Former Health Minister is accused of using insulting language towards Women’s Rights Activist, Sherlina Nageer on Monday 20th April, 2015, while outside the Whim Magistrate’s Court.
Prosecutor Inspector Phillip Sheriff is presenting the state’s case.
Ramsaran’s lawyers had moved to the high court to have the matter thrown out. The lawyers had stated that after perusing the documents their client is convinced that the prosecution hasn’t established the ingredients of the charge based on the statements that were supplied to the defence.
However that matter was dismissed and the trial continued in the Magistrate’s court.
The Prosecution’s case was conducted by Inspectors Althea Solomon, Bernard Brown and Phillip Sheriff at different stages.
The defence had put forward a no case submission. However this was overruled by the magistrate who ordered that they lead a defence.
Ramsaran’s case has been put down for September 19.
