A judicial review claim filed by a temporary clerk with the police service against the Public Service Commission (PSC) was dismissed by the High Court after the judge ruled there was no legal basis to stop the continuation of disciplinary proceedings.

Trishann Sieuraj-Ramdeen had challenged the PSC’s decision to appoint a disciplinary tribunal to investigate misconduct charges stemming from her dual roles in public service. She claimed the process breached Regulation 90 of the PSC Regulations due to procedural flaws and long delays, but the court disagreed.

The charges allege Sieuraj-Ramdeen worked as a special reserve police (SRP) officer while also on sick leave from her clerical post. She admitted holding both roles but denied wrongdoing, stating she had submitted the necessary leave requests and did not misrepresent her absences.
