Dear Members of the Media,
At the hearing this afternoon on the Law Society's application to suspend Mr Ravi from practice, which was made after he had announced his intention to contest the next general elections against the prime minister at Ang Mo Kio GRC, the proceedings turned into a mess towards the end of the morning hearing.
The law society’s lawyer Mr Pradeep of M/s Shook Lin & Bok shouted at Mr Ravi in front of the Judge that Ravi should not attend court anymore and he shouted at Mr Ravi directly instead of addressing the court. The judge, His Honourable Justice Quentin Loh visibly looked disconcerted at the Law Society counsel’s misbehaviour.
Mr Ravi appealed to the court to control the emotions of Mr Pradeep which ran high through his veins. At the close of the hearing as the Judge returned to his chambers, Mr Pradeep assaulted Mr Ravi. This was captured in the court’s camera footage. Mr Ravi immediately responded to Mr Pradeep who was trying to agitate Mr Ravi before and throughout the hearing but to no avail, putting Mr Pradeep on immediate notice that he will be commencing a Magistrate Complaint against Mr Pradeep and also commencing legal action against Mr Pradeep, lawyer for the Law Society, for assaulting Mr Ravi in committing the tort of battery and for his shouting at Mr Ravi directly.
Mr Ravi had taken out a separate application today to dismiss the law society application to suspend him as his doctor, Dr Munidas Winslow had certified Mr Ravi fit to practice.
Mr Ravi is now preparing his legal submissions in support of his application to dismiss Law Society application and will be in court at 3pm today to address the court on his legal submissions supported by local cases on constitutional law .Most of them were argued by Mr Ravi himself before the Court of Appeal during the 5 years of his battle to save Mr Yong Vui Kong from the death gallows.
Today Mr Ravi had also been removed as a speaker at the Constitutional Law Seminar today at Suntec City Guild house where he had been scheduled earlier to speak at the morning and afternoon sessions. Mr Ravi understands that some lawyers have asked for a refund from the Law Society as they ONLY intended to attend the talk because Mr Ravi was supposed to speak. Now that the Law Society has suspended him from speaking at the seminar this has caused serious concern to the participating lawyers in regards to the indiscriminate and degoratory treatment meted out to Mr Ravi. Mr Ravi understands from these lawyers that they will be requisitioning the Law Society for the extra annual meeting (AGM).
Finally, Mr Ravi appeals to fellow Singaporeans to join him in a protest this Saturday 28 February 2015 against the Law Society’s counsel assaulting him inside the court with no respect and dignity to the legal profession and to condemn the Law Society’s action. Mr Ravi invites all Singaporeans irregardless of race language and religion to support him at a protest at Hong Lim Park from 3 pm – 6 pm. M Ravi will perform his dance, drama and music during the protest.
Yours truly,
