Michael & Joseph to now battle in the court; over elections

18 Jul 2017 06:36 PM

Calangute MLAMichael Lobo has criticized his arch rival Joseph Sequeira of creating hurdles in his functioning as the MLA as well as for his panchayat council.



Because Joseph has now filed court cases challenging Michael’s Assembly election as well as delimitation in Calangute panchayat.

Deputy Speaker Michael got elected once again as the MLA by defeating Joseph by over 3000 votes. And in panchayat election, he wiped out Joseph’s panel.

Joseph has now filed a petition in the high court challenging the Assembly result. And a case before the Administrative Tribunal, challenging the delimitation of wards.

Michael feels these cases would simply waste their time and money in the court matters and slow down their pace of development.

Joseph however feels that court is the only option for him to get justice. He is even prepared to go up to the Supreme Court.
