Au­di­tor Gen­er­al Jai­wantie Ram­dass has with­drawn her high-pro­file law­suit against the Cab­i­net. The case was dropped af­ter the State con­ced­ed, agree­ing to pay Ram­dass’ le­gal costs and ef­fec­tive­ly end­ing the in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

Her at­tor­ney, Se­nior Coun­sel and for­mer at­tor­ney gen­er­al Anand Ram­lo­gan, said yes­ter­day that Ram­dass achieved the pur­pose of the law­suit: to pro­tect the Au­di­tor Gen­er­al’s Of­fice from po­lit­i­cal in­ter­fer­ence.

The par­ties ap­peared be­fore Jus­tice Joan Charles on May 12, where they in­formed the judge that dis­cus­sions were be­ing held af­ter the Privy Coun­cil rul­ing.
