Ally-Khan is scheduled to return to court next Friday when the charges would be read to Justice Doraisami.

  3. Arnold VENEZUELA says:

    Was Mr Ally-Khan hit by the judges car, or had previous grievances, if none it’s a very lame case for the Accuser

    • tiger CANADA says:

      no he did’nt had to be struck by the judge’s car, he has to prove that the judge intended to harm him, as such any one who wittnessed this incident would be called to give evidence.

    • SOESDYKE CANADA says:

      I hope the RICE FRAMER stand his ground, and don’t back down.

  4. stan bishop SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES says:

    it would be interesting to know what led to the judge’s alleged action’s towards his accuser. a charge of attempted murder seems serious, so more details on the issue needs to be brought to the fore so that readers can get a clearer picture as to what significant series of events led to the alleged incident.

  6. SAM CANADA says:

    Maybe he has to get a sling shot , DRUMUP.

  7. Richard Lewis CANADA says:

    Mr. Ally-Khan had better be damnd sure of what he is doing and the proof that he has to back up his allegation since, if he fails to get a conviction, he could be counter sued by the judge for defamation of character. This will be an interesting one to follow.

  8. BIG D, UNITED KINGDOM says:

    Note the difference.Magistrate shoots at Police.no action.Private charge laid against Judge for Attempt murder,by farmer.Whatever the outcome,the farmer has exercised his legal right to bring this case,win or lose.Justice at work.

  9. he is not ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA says:

    Mansoor Ally is not poor if memory serve right I think he owns a gas station and that Judge used to be the Magistrate in the West Berbice area for quite some time and he is well known there

  10. Datuk Sri Jelan CANADA says:

    I give this man credit for standing up to his rights. It would appear that the Police has not laid charges against this Judge, so this rice farmer did the right thing, fear no one, and had cahrges brought against the Judge. How far will it progress is a different matter. But in the meantime, I salute this brave soul.
