JUSTICE James Bovell-Drakes and Justice Diana Insanally are assigned to preside at the October Criminal Session of the Demerara High Court, which begins on Tuesday.

Up to late yesterday, some court officials had been saying they were unaware of the exact number of persons awaiting trial, but had insisted that the list was getting longer and longer because of the shortage of judges.
There was, yesterday, a clean-up of rubbish around the court, to provide a clean space for the holding of the Ceremonial Parade that accompanies opening of the session.
That parade includes inspection and march-past, but it is not certain whether the sewerage problem that affects the South Road gutter has being resolved.
One judge is expected to inspect the parade and take the salute during a march past on South Road.
