FOURTEEN miners from the Cuyuni Mining District who are complaining that the Geology & Mines Commissioner wrongly granted permission to Azeem Baksh to occupy certain claims are seeking to have that decision  quashed. But, because certain submissions have not yet been submitted to the court, the acting Chief Justice, Mr.  Ian Chang, S.C., has reserved his ruling until those have been provided.
The applicants who have applied for  writs of  certiorari and  prohibition are Garfield S. Hamlet,  Rupert Allicock,  Saheed Sattaur,  Sheik Omar,  Mohammad A. Yar,  Dennis T. Jerrick,  Ken S. Hamlet,  Roy Lewis, Floyd Jerrick,  Lionel Fro Alphonso, Denise Yvonne Lewis,  Gaston Gomes,  Vornick A. K. Jerrick, and  Joseph D. A. Higgins.

Those claims include “A  tract of State land located in the  Cuyuni  Mining District No. 4 as shown on a  Terra Surveys Topographic map 17SE,  at scale 1: 50,000 with reference point  ‘X’ located at the confluence of the Cuyuni River and the Toroparu River with  geographical coordinates of longitude 59*” 34’ 27” W and latitude 6*40’10”N.
Thus enclosing an area of approximately 1,110 acres, save and except all lands lawfully held or occupied” on the grounds that the Commissioner is biased  and had  breached the rules of natural justice.
The motion was filed by Attorney-at-Law Nigel Hughes for the applicants.
