The manager and part owner of Survival Supermarket was yesterday placed on a bond to keep the peace for two years and ordered to pay $10,000 court costs when he appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court to answer the charge of assault causing actual bodily harm.
It is alleged that on June 11 at Georgetown, Parshuram Arjune, of 10 Vlissengen Road assaulted Ravina Arjune so as to cause her actual bodily harm.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge of assaulting the virtual complainant (VC) who is his wife when it was read to him by the Acting Chief Magistrate.

Attorney-at-law Tanya Warren who represented the defendant made an application for  bail to be granted in a reasonable sum on the grounds that her client poses no risk of flight, has a fixed place of abode and has been cooperating with the police in their investigations.

Warren added also that the defendant and the VC had resolved their differences.  The matter was then called to the bench and a lengthy discussion ensued.

The father of three was subsequently placed on a bond to keep the peace for two years and ordered to pay $10,000 court costs.

    The placing on bond to keep the peace should have also included mandatory regular attendance at some anger management or counselling programme run by a social organization such as a church or Help & Shelter or similar body. Just leaving the violent men on their own to handle their raw emotions is just to postpone the day of ultimate tragedy.

      Yes!, let’s remember their names, if she don’t leave, she’ll be a next victim, once abused, would be again, he needed counselling, 2 yrs jail, community service to speak against abusers when he out and $20,000.00 fine, hit him in the pocket, (close his business, while he’s in jail.)

      This would have sent a message to others, these abusers r not having the raw treatment by the courts, so it keeps going on and on and on.

      Wonder if she reads SN daily, if she does, she would be able to read our bloggs, get out Ravina, get out now.

    PUTTING THIS VAGABOND ON BOND DOESN’T SOLVE ANY PROBLEM BUT TO MAKE IT WORST.. HE SHOULD SERVE A FEW MONTHS IN JAIL OR A YEAR IN JAIL TO LEARN A VALUABLE LESSON… WHEN WILL THESE LAWYERS & JUDGES AND MAGISTRATES COME TO THEIR SENSES & LIVE IN A REAL WORLD??? WHEN? WHEN TOMORROW THEY READ THE WOMAN IS FOUND DEAD AFTER BEING KILLED BY HER HUSBAND? U CANT BE SOFT OR EASY ON THESE SCUMS! WHAT A SHAME & NO JUSTICE FOR THIS WOMAN…

  8. Hello are these magistrates out of their minds or what? $10,000 equals to US$50 as they are aware, why not $1,000.000.00… he caused bodily harm and that is all he gets that is nonsense, this is what is encourgaing these scumbags to brutalize women. Why the hell she is still with him, she needs to leave as soon as possible before she gets killed, I am not going to have sympathy for these women now, because it seems that they love these men kicking their butts, if it was me I would have been heading for Glory alone if we had kids they would be going with me. I would have been out so that I can live and be happy without Blows. Make sure if you divorce him you get 50/50 not 70/30 or 60/40 as Lionel Richie said in his song, this is the 21st century so it is 50/50 if not 80/20.
    My Mom, left my dad with her four kids and that was back in 1969 and he had a business but all she was interested in was herself and kids and we all grew up to be hard working adults with goals and ambitions that we have achieved.

    I am single due to being a battered wife and I am afraid to love again but I am willing to give love another chance. But for sure I want to have a partner from my country who is aware of our culture and customs because as I tell my girlfriend here that in my country the man is the head of the house and she says that you are crazy, so I told her that I am not going to change my customs to suit the American customs because you guys do not have customs and any respect for your partner.
