Neighbours and relatives held a picketing exercise in front of the Leonora Magistrate’s Court yesterday to demand justice for a woman after an order was served on her to be evicted from her mother’s house.
The woman, Leelawattie Sukhwa, called Roani, 38, of Lot 141 ‘C’ Field, Leonora, West Coast Demerara is scheduled to return to court on March 15. The court ordered her to remove from the house, after her mother, Surujdai Ramgobin applied for protection and occupation orders against her.
