THE fall out over a bitter land dispute between two brothers, which was recently settled by the Caribbean Court of Justice, continues when the siblings on Monday were hauled in the Charity Magistrate’s Court for threatening language and behaviour.

Both Deonarine Natram and Kowsal Narine pleaded not guilty to the two charges which stated that on September 14, 2018 both of them used threatening behaviour and language towards each other. They made their appearance before Essequibo Magistrate, Esther Sam at the Charity Magistrate’s Court.

Deonarine Natram’s attorney, Lachmin Dindyal, told the court that the matter stemmed from the CCJ decision which had ruled in Narine’s favour. He, however, told the court that Natram currently has rice and vegetables crops on the land. Attorney Dindyal said that the matter has not concluded and the parties are still to come to an agreement. He also said that concerning the land dispute attorney Anil Nandlall and Sataram’s are dealing with the matter.

Dindyal also told the court that Narine is preventing his brother, Deonarine Natram, from reaping the crop by threatening the harvesters who are all sacred. On the other hand, representing Kowsal Narine was attorney, Miss Granville who told the court that she agreed with her colleague Dindyal that matter has not concluded since the CCJ’s decision. Magistrate Sam dismissed the matter.

In May the CCJ had declared Kowsal Narine as the executor of the five acres of rice land situated at Golden Fleece on the Essequibo Coast. However, Deonarine Natram was in possession of the land since 2016 after winning the case in the Court of Appeal in Guyana. During his time on the land he had invested in rice and vegetable crops, all of which are in bearing stages. Natram, who spoke with the Guyana Chronicle, said that to date he cannot reap his rice crop which is 130 days old. He is however, contemplating further legal action against his brother for preventing him from reaping his crops. The land case is over 30 years old and both parties have transport for the said land. Natram acquired his in 2002 and Narine acquired his in 2014.
