Pritipaul Singh moves to appeal court in land battle against DDL subsidiary

In its continued bid to dispossess Demerara Contractors and Engineers Limited (DCEL) of a now-embattled piece of waterfront Providence land, Pritipaul Singh Investments (PSI) has lodged an appeal against a High Court ruling which found DCEL to be the rightful owners.

In a judgment handed down in October of last year, Justice Nareshwar Harnanan had found that PSI had no legal rights/claims to the land and ordered the seafood processing giant to vacate no later than January of this year.

PSI which continues to flout the court order as no stay has been granted, subsequently filed an appeal in which it is seeking to have the judgment set aside; arguing that the judge made a number of legal errors.
