Dismissed Solicitor General Sharvada Sharma

The case of dismissed Solicitor General, Sharvada Sharma will be called before High Court Judge, Justice Deepthi Amaratunga today.

Sharma filed legal action in relation to the termination of his employment on the 12th of November last year by former President Jioji Konrote.

The legal action is against the President of Fiji, the Judicial Services Commission and the Attorney General of Fiji.

The former Solicitor General is represented by Munro Leys partner Jon Apted while private law firm, R.Patel Lawyers partner Devanesh Sharma and associate Gul Fatima are representing the President, the Judicial Services Commission and the Attorney General.

A statement on the Government Facebook Page on 10th November last year said the President of Fiji at the time, on the advice of the Judicial Services Commission and in accordance with the Fijian Constitution, terminated the appointment of Sharvada Sharma.

Sharma was earlier suspended by former President Jioji Konrote for more than 7 weeks after an allegation of misbehaviour.

Sharvada Sharma is arguing that the President cannot dismiss him without an independent tribunal hearing the allegation and advising the President.
