Ahmad Ally, the man who was charged with attempting to sell a plot of land at Turkeyen to a man using a forged transport was refused bail on Friday by acting Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson when he appeared before her charged with trying to sell the same plot of land to another man.
Ally, 36, of 30 Albouys Street, Albouystown was charged with conspiring to commit a felony, obtaining money by false pretence and uttering a forged document.
It is alleged that on March 24 with intent to defraud, he forged a transport in favour of himself, purporting to show same was issued by the Registrar of Deeds knowing same to be false. On the same day, with intent to defraud, he obtained $3.5M from Lochand Persaud purporting to be the owner of a plot of land at Turkeyen and in a position to sell same, knowing same to be false.
It is also alleged that between March 17 and 24; he conspired with person(s) unknown to forge a transport in favour of himself, by inserting his name so that it would be used as a genuine document.
He was not required to the charges. His attorney Vic Puran asked for reasonable bail to be granted.
Persaud told the court that he bought the property in good faith and paid the full amount, only to find that it did not exist. He said he later found out that the same property was sold to someone else.
Police Prosecutor Inspector Stephen Telford objected to bail and said that Ally was charged on a similar offence. He said that in January, Ally received $4.5M from Tarachand Balgobin and in March he received $3.5M from Persaud.
Ally was then refused bail.
