WHEN Toolsie Persaud Limited won a 2009 court battle, it was granted judgement in the sum of $865,126. But that matter has not yet been finalized, because the defendant, Jagnanan Singh, has not paid the judgement.
The parties are now at the stage in which the plaintiff, Toolsie Persaud Limited, is opposing a transport being passed by the defendant, Jagnanan Singh, in an effort to get Singh to pay on the judgement in their matter before being able to sell his property.
The trouble started on April 22, 2009 when Toolsie Persaud Limited obtained judgement against Jagnanan Singh in the sum of $865,126, with interest on the said sum at the rate of 6% per annum from May 20, 2006 to April 22, 2009, and thereafter at the rate of 4% per annum until the money has been fully paid, together with costs in the sum of $2,000.
Despite repeated demands from Toolsie Persaud Limited for the sum to be paid, the defendant Jagnanan Singh has failed and/or refused to so do.
On August 11, 2012, Jagnanan Singh and second-named defendants caused to be advertised in the Official Gazette of Guyana — numbered 64 therein for the County of Demerara — the passing of a transport to Lochan Atchana and Shelly Ann Pereira.
On August 20, 2012, Toolsie Persaud Limited, the plaintiff, entered an opposition to the passing of the said transport.
According to the plaintiff, the reasons for opposing the passing of the transport are as follows:
On April 22, 2009, Toolsie Persaud Limited obtained judgement against Jagnanan Singh for a sum of $865,126, with interest together with costs.
Despite repeated demands for payment of the said sum, together with interest thereon, Jagnanan Singh has failed and/or refused to pay.
On March 2, 2011, Toolsie Persaud Limited filed in the High Court, Action No. 54/5 of 2011, opposing the passing of transport to another portion of land owned by Jagnanan Singh in an effort to get him to pay  the said judgment.
Toolsie Persaud Limited pointed out that, to date, Jagnanan Singh has made no payment on the judgement, and the proceedings in regard to their opposing his passing of transport to another property he owns are still pending.
Attorney-at-law Robert Ramcharran is representing Toolsie Persaud Limited. He has asked the court for an order “which is legal and well founded” to compel Jagnanan Singh to pay his client the sum of $865,126.
Ramcharran is also asking for an injunction restraining Jagnanan Singh from passing transport to the property advertised for sale until Singh has fully paid Toolsie Persaud Limited.
