Another baby step
Hi, for all those who've prayed, wished well, and care, we won this court hearing.
Although we've won majority of the hearings in the past 21 years of the case, the previous two judgments have been extremely negative and our stay order was almost expired. This hearing took five days to pull through, but it did.
In the beginning this judge was really negative, he refused to even allow our lawyer to speak at all. He just kept shooting questions at him and refused to let him answer. He kept throwing Indian State Laws at my lawyer when Andamans is a Union Territory and falls under Presidential laws.
Today, he apologized in front of an open court, complemented my lawyer for his patience and explained that the opposition had already briefed him before the case had begun and he thought the case was simply shut.
In fact, the previous judge had completely gone in our favour throughout the hearing and had even said so in open court that the Lieutenant Governor of the Islands was behaving like a dictator by taking away this property from us, but in writing we lost the case.
This judge completely struck off the previous judge's verdict saying that his judgment was based on no laws, no facts, no evidence, and gave us a favourable verdict instead.
This is just one step, but it's a big one. He extended our stay order until the case is permanently settled and he was so humble and apologetic to us all.
Thank you guys
