In another twist in the Barry Dataram extradition case, Justice Ian Chang ruled on Monday that the businessman be released from custody.However, the authorities re-arrested him based on the granting of a stay of execution on application by Attorney General Doodnauth Singh.Yesterday, Appellate Judge, Charles Ramson, made Justice Chang’s ruling absolute. As such, just after 16:00 hrs yesterday,Kurt Warner Cardinals Throwback Jersey, Dataram walked out of the Camp Street prison.In his ruling,World Soccer Shop, Justice Chang stated that neither the Commissioner of Police nor the Director of Prisons has any legal authority to arrest or keep him in custody for the purpose of extradition to the United States of America.Justice Chang, in handing down his decision, added that it is clear that Dataram is being deprived of his liberty for the purpose of extradition to the USA contrary to the prohibitive provision of the Fugitive Offenders Act 1988.Justice Chang noted that Dataram’s detention purports to have been effected under the provisions of the Fugitive Offenders Act but has been in breach of the same Act.Such detention,Argentina World Cup T-Shirts, he added, is not saved as being authorised by law. Dataram’s detention, Justice Chang said, is therefore not merely unlawful but unconstitutional.As such, he noted, the court sees it fit to order that the rules nisi of Certiorari, Prohibition and Habeas Corpus ad subjiciendum for which Dataram through his attorneys had applied on November 6 last, was made absolute.Habeas corpus seeks to pursue legal action, through which a person can seek relief from the unlawful detention of him/herself or another person. It protects the individual from harming himself or being harmed by the judicial system.Habeas Corpus ad subjiciendum is a writ inquiring into the lawfulness of the restraint of a person who is imprisoned or detained in another’s custody.On October 30 last, Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee, in response to a request made by the US Government for the extradition of Dataram to answer drug-related charges, issued to Magistrate Hazel Octive-Hamilton an ‘Authority to Proceed’ in respect of extradition proceedings against him.These drug-related charges included Conspiracy to import a controlled substance, Conspiracy to distribute and process with intent to distribute a controlled substance, and Importing a controlled substance.The ‘Authority to Proceed’ superseded various applications made by the applicant to the High Court to quash whatever interim warrants were issued for the arrest of Dataram and to have him released from custody pending extradition proceedings.As such, on November 3 last, Dataram,Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys, who was in custody on one of those warrants, was taken before Magistrate Octive-Hamilton pursuant of the ‘Authority to Proceed’ issued by the Minister.Justice Ian Chang The extradition hearing for the purpose of extradition of the applicant to the US commenced but the same day Dataram’s lawyers filed in the High Court a Writ of Certiorari,Paul Kariya Ducks Throwback Jersey, which sought to quash the decision of the Minister to issue ‘Authority to Proceed’.The lawyers also filed a Writ of Prohibition which prohibited Magistrate Octive-Hamilton from proceeding with the extradition proceedings on the grounds that the ‘Authority to Proceed’ was unconstitutional, null,J.R. Smith Jersey, void and of no legal effect.On that same day, his lawyers sought a Writ of Habeas Corpus ad subjiciendum directing the Commissioner of Police and the Director of Prisons to release Dataram from custody on the grounds that his incarceration was unconstitutional, unlawful and not authorized by the laws of Guyana. But these ex parte applications were refused by Justice Rishi Persaud.With impressive alacrity, Dataram’s lawyer filed in the Full Court a similar motion for the same reasons as was presented before Justice Persaud. Following arguments from both the prosecution and defense, Justice Chang made his ruling.

For years, a self-made real estate magnate named Edul Ahmad personified the collective dreams ofEd AhmadRichmond Hill, Queens, which is populated by many immigrants from Guyana, in South America. Mr. Ahmad drove a yellow Lamborghini, sponsored a cricket team and held white-glove parties at a lavish banquet hall that he owned.At a prominent intersection near the border of Richmond Hill and South Ozone Park, his smiling face looked down from a large billboard that promoted his real estate services. Many residents responded, taking out high-risk mortgages that they were told they could readily afford.In July, it all came crashing down. Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Mr. Ahmad, charging him with masterminding a $50 million mortgage fraud that seemed to exemplify a nationwide phenomenon of celebrated immigrant brokers who were accused of preying on their own.Now, scores, if not hundreds, of Guyanese immigrants are facing financial ruin because of loans said to have been arranged by Mr. Ahmad, and the repercussions from the case have extended from Queens to Washington to Guyana.Mr. Ahmad is currently engaged in intensive plea-bargain negotiations with federal prosecutors, according to court documents,Marshon Lattimore Jersey, but it appears that the impact of the loans will endure for years. Richmond Hill has been hit harder by the foreclosure crisis than most other neighborhoods in the city, officials and analysts said.Mr. Ahmad’s case has also ensnared two politicians whom he considered friends: United States Representative Gregory W. Meeks, a Queens Democrat; and John L. Sampson of Brooklyn, the Democratic leader of the State Senate.A House ethics panel is investigating Mr. Meeks for failing to disclose that he received $40,000 from Mr. Ahmad. Mr. Sampson worked as Mr. Ahmad’s lawyer and was disciplined by the New York secretary of state for notarizing a document for Mr. Ahmad without a license.After Mr. Ahmad’s arrest, the ruling party in Guyana had to explain why his contact information appeared on a flier promoting a fund-raising dinner with the president at the time, Bharrat Jagdeo; the party said Mr. Ahmad was a friend of Mr. Jagdeo’s, but not a campaign donor.Mr. Ahmad, 44, is charged with luring buyers into subprime mortgages, inflating the values of their properties and concealing his involvement by using straw buyers,World Cup Jerseys 2018, like his wife and the Guyanese-born captain of the United States cricket team, Steve Massiah.Mr. Ahmad pleaded not guilty and posted $2.5 million in bail in July. Reached by telephone recently, he would not comment.Since 2009, more foreclosures have been filed in Queens than in any other borough,Nike Boston Celtics Authentic Jerseys, according to the Neighborhood Economic Development Advocacy Project. Five of the hardest hit ZIP codes in Queens are within a 15-minute drive of the office of Mr. Ahmad, who community leaders say once held about 75 percent of local real estate listings.Paban Saha and Syed Husain, friends and former business partners, said they contacted him in 2006 after seeing his newspaper advertisements. They said he earned their confidence at their first meeting, when they watched him write a check to a charity.“He set up an atmosphere where you forgot about everything,” Mr. Husain, 56, said.Mr. Ahmad and one of his brokers offered Mr. Husain and Mr. Saha a three-family house for $880,000 but warned of another bid, Mr. Husain said. Mr. Ahmad demanded that they close within a week, insisting they use his lawyer, his appraiser and his mortgage officer, who pushed to finance 95 percent of their home at a 12.5 percent rate, Mr. Saha and Mr. Husain said.Within two years, their finances were devastated, they said. The property was on the brink of foreclosure, the souvenir store that their families owned together went bankrupt, and they depleted savings they had accumulated since emigrating from Bangladesh in the 1990s.“You can only imagine two households trying to keep one property afloat,” said Mr. Husain,Teemu Selanne Ducks Throwback Jersey, who has filed a civil lawsuit against Mr. Ahmad. “It sucked everything dry.”Some Guyanese people,http://www.soccerpro.us.com/Atletico-Madrid-FC/, describing their foreclosures linked to Mr. Ahmad’s services, said they were so terrified by his powerful ties that they did not want their names publicized. One man said that at times he felt suicidal.“I don’t even trust myself to make decisions anymore,” he said. “I’ve lost everything.”Housing experts say these cases have cropped up in immigrant enclaves across the United States, often because immigrants can
