GEORGETOWN - Awaiting a decision by the Finance Ministry to finally pay benefits due to him, retired judge Jainarayan Singh Jr has been forced to return to private practice to sustain himself.
Singh said he is convinced that his reputation of making rulings not in favour of government has had a lot to do with the way he has been treated.
However he says he has no regrets about his service to the judiciary.
Speaking to reporters in the corridors of the High Court Tuesday, Singh said he had written to chairman of the Judicial Service Commission, Acting Chancellor Carl Singh, and the Ministry of Finance to query about the status of his benefits.
He said so far Justice Singh had replied saying that the Ministry of Finance was handling the matter.
Tuesday when Stabroek News made contact with the chancellor to confirm same, his secretary advised that he was not available, but she took the query and said the message would be passed on.
Singh said he believed he was owed somewhere in the region of $10 million.
He served as a judge from August 10, 2000, to September 30, 2008.
