High Court Judge Frank Seepersad has decided to take a hands-on approach to resolving a dispute over the remains of people whose graves were allegedly disturbed at the Monkey Town Public Cemetery during recent construction work.
During a virtual hearing of a lawsuit of 67-year-old Barrackpore widow Savitri Sookram, whose family’s plots were allegedly disturbed by the roadworks undertaken by the Penal/Debe Regional Corporation, Seepersad agreed to perform an official visit to the site in the hope of resolving the issue of the re-interment of the remains before the substantive is dealt with.
