Former politician and Registrar of the University of Fiji Kamlesh Arya

Suva High Court Judge Justice Riyaz Hamza will deliver a ruling on the bail variation application of Kamlesh Arya today.

Arya’s lawyer Vijay Maharaj made an application for variation of bail for former politician and Registrar of the University of Fiji.

Maharaj informed Suva High Court Judge Justice Riyaz Hamza that Arya wishes to travel to abroad from 10th to 24th September this year.

It is alleged that Arya whilst being employed in the public service as the Registrar at the University of Fiji, and whilst acting as the School Manager for Bhawani Dayal Memorial Primary School, did arbitrary acts for gain in abuse of the authority of his office, namely authorized loans amounting to $116,500 from the Free Education Grant provided by the Ministry of Education to Bhawani Dayal Memorial Primary School.

It is also alleged that Arya dishonestly caused a risk of loss to Bhawani Dayal Memorial School by authorising the Free Education Grants as loans amounting to $116,500, and knowing that the loss will occur or substantial risk of the loss will occur to Bhawani Dayal Memorial School.

The alleged incident occurred in 2014.

He pleaded not guilty to his charges.
