The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) plans to regularize the office of Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court and has advertised the position.
The rules of the court stipulate that an attorney-at-law should hold the office, but according to the advertisement published in the daily newspapers, an individual with a first degree in law from a recognized university for at least ten years can also hold the office.
Stabroek News was reliably informed that current Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court Rashid Mohamed is due to retire within two months.
Mohamed was in the court system for over a decade and was holding the office of Deputy Registrar for some time now. This newspaper was also informed that the JSC plans to retain Mohamed to work at the High Court in another capacity after he leaves office.
Meanwhile, information reaching this newspaper has indicated that embattled Registrar of the Supreme Court Sita Ramlal was recently interdicted from duty.
The Registrar had proceeded on leave after she appeared in court charged alongside retired chief of staff of the army Norman McLean in an alleged adoption fraud case, but the JSC recently took the decision to interdict her from duty.
