The High Court order granted against businessman Gerry Gouveia to remove structures encroaching on the property of his neighbour, Pavnik Press proprietor Toral Kowlessar, was recently suspended by consent.
Justice James-Bovell Drakes had granted the order after Kowlessar approached the court for injunctive relief against Gouveia, claiming for nuisance and trespass and seeking orders from the court directing Gouveia to demolish all the structures erected next to the fence along the western boundary of his property, in addition to removing a water pump installed next to the fence.
Upon reading Kowlessar’s ex-parte application to the court, filed through his attorney Vidyanand Persaud, Justice Bovell-Drakes ordered and directed that Gouveia pull down, demolish or remove the laundry room, the shower room, two toilets, the pool/storage shed, two awnings, the water tank and trestle, the water pump and three sheds erected and/or placed abutting and projecting beyond the western fence of his Lot 8 Eping Avenue, Bel Air Park property.
He also ordered and directed that Gouveia remove four galvanized poles and electrical wires and fittings he installed at Kowlessar’s property.
The case has been put down until January 25, when it is to be called at 9 am in chambers.
