ANY advice given by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) chambers would have satisfied me as a victim instead of the Aurora Police just coming to the conclusion that it is not a criminal offence to remove or tamper with a surveyor’s pall which I consider to be misleading. Such palls are being planted with a specific purpose for demarcation of boundaries and there must be a provision in the law to give protection for its use.
Legal action can also be taken to rectify any dissatisfaction emerging from a survey but to take the law into one’s hand by interfering with the palls as was done to me, in my humble opinion constitutes a criminal offence liable for prosecution and court action to be taken against the perpetrator.
I am the joint transport holder along with my mother for a parcel of land located at lots 14 and 15, Sea Dam Section, Middlesex, Essequibo Coast, with the entire portion being in my possession and control.
Ever so often, the area is subjected to heavy flooding with many losses to rice and other agricultural crops with the only remedy for the inundation being to have the surrounding empoldered.
For this to be done, it was necessary for me to know my boundaries which only a qualified surveyor could have determined and one was retained by me to do the job for $90,000.
The surveyor did all that was required of him and when the survey was done on 2010-09-07 no one offering any objection.
Two days later in broad daylight a man in my presence and that of my wife and two children presumptuously damaged the two iron pipes cemented in solid cast as the demarcating palls for my boundaries and took them away.
My progress for survival is now being hampered much to my detriment and it would only be proper for someone in authority to come to my assistance with a solution to my predicament.
The man violated the law by interfering with the palls had no right to do so and this is the only issue here.
