Originating Summons were issued on the 21^st January 1992
The case was concluded on the 2nd June 1997 by the court making the declarations sought by Amrik Singh
Throught the proceedings Amrik Singh represented himself in person, Bhasin was represented by counsel and HM Attorney General was also represented by counsel.
Order relating to the costs of these proceedings was made by Master Bragge on the 9^th March1998.
Bhasin appealed the order of Master Bragge. The appeal was dismissed on the 24^th July 1998 by Mr. Alan Boyle QC (sitting as Deputy Judge on the Chancery Division)
Belvederes Solicitors acted for Bhasin from 21^st January 1992 to the 18^th May 1995.
Shergill & Co solicitors acted for Bhasin from 6^th June 1995 to 28^th November 1996.
Heckenbroch Solicitors acted for Bhasin from 6^th August 1997 to 24 July 1998
During the above periods vast sums of monies were paid from Gurdwarwa funds to solicitors for Bhasin’s legal fees. On conclusion of the case the court ordered that Bhasin shall personally pay the cost of his legal fees and shall not be entitled to recover any part of the same from out of the funds of the Gurdwara.
The effect of these orders was that Bhasin should have refunded to the Gurdwara all monies paid by the Gurdwara for his legal fees. To date this has not been done.
Amrik Singh has also not been paid by Bhasin for his costs contrary to the orders of the court..
