As Gulf Cable began to settle, they started to look more comfortable moving the ball around and created some good chances. Malabar is response attempted some long range shots to trouble the keeper. The first half remained scoreless but Gibu of Malabar made no mistake scoring from a spot kick in the second half to take the lead as their defender brought down the attacker in the penalty area.

UG made a double substitution during the second half and were rewarded with a goal from No.4 Pontes. Alfred made some good moves in the second half and was nearly rewarded. Rising attempted some more long range shots in the second half to trouble the UG keeper.

The fourth match of the day was an exciting feature between AVC and Don Bosco. AVC began to threaten as soon as the whistle blew off and made Don Bosco defend a lot. Steven kept the ball out with a header on goal line and some good defending from Conrad at the back kept the score line to a draw till halftime. Don Bosco strikers were marked well by AVC and they did not give them a lot of room. Don Bosco began to play a better game in the second half and had a few chances to trouble the AVC keeper. The KIFF match officials were John, Arnold and Romeo. Kevin Vaz of AVC had the best chance in the match but his powerful shot was kept out by the keeper. There was not much separating the two sides and after regulation time and extra time the game had to be decided by penalties. AVC put in all their first four penalties and Don Bosco got in only three out of four. It looked like AVC were going to take it away on penalties but penalties is always a cruel way to end a match and AVC would be that team. AVC missed their fifth spot kick and gave Don Bosco a golden opportunity to come back in sudden death. Steven of Don Bosco took a cool penalty while Luciano of AVC was not able to convert his. Don Bosco will meet earlier winners Malabar in the quarter final stage.

ADV.AMIT DESAI DIRECTED TO REFUND 5 LAKHS.

SP DIRECTS ADV. AMIT DESAI TO URGENTLY REFUND THE FIVE LAKHS

North Goa Superintendent of Police Mr. Arvind Gawas has directed Mumbai Senior Advocate Amit Desai to urgently refund the five lakhs that was erroneously paid to him under a bonafied belief that he had appeared for those four hearings before the Bombay High Court at Goa in the Ryan Fernandes confirmation of death sentence case.

Acting on a complaint filed by Adv. Aires Rodrigues, SP Arvind Gawas in his letter to Adv. Amit Desai has stated that there was an inadvertent error in clearing the bills which were erroneously certified by the Investigating officer of the case Deputy Superintendent of Police Mr. Mahesh Gaonkar.

SP Gawas has further informed Adv. Amit Desai that the police have now confirmed from the records of the High Court that he had not appeared before the High Court on those four days for which he had billed the Goa government.

Mr. Gawas has in his letter also drawn Adv. Amit Desai’s attention that the Law department had also stated that he was entitled to Rs 1, 25,000 per appearance only before the High Court and not for any fees towards conference or meetings that he may have held in Goa.

While the Goa police are hoping to close the case by getting Adv. Amit Desai to refund the five lakhs, Adv. Aires Rodrigues has demanded that Adv Amit Desai and Adv. Ashwin Bhobe should be also booked and punished for committing offences of cheating, misappropriation of property, and breach of trust under Section 420, r/w Sec 34 & section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code.

Panaji Judicial Magistrate First Class Mrs. Sarika Fadessai has already issued notices to North Goa Superintendent of Police Mr. Arvind Gawas and Panaji Police Inspector Ramesh Gaonkar to appear in Court on 1st November on a petition filed by Adv. Aires Rodrgues seeking directions of the Court to the police to register and investigate the cheating case against Adv. Amit Desai and Adv. Ashwin Bhobe for cheating the State exchequer to the tune of five lakhs.

Adv Rodrigues has stated that Adv. Amit Desai’s raising the bills was a clear act of cheating, while Adv. Ashwin Bhobe criminally conspired and corroborated in the act by submitting those bills to the government inspite of knowing that the bills were falsely raised and that there were factually no such court appearances by Adv. Amit Desai.
