The Sri Lankan Judge refused to accept Ark's Native leased land as security. What about other individuals and institutions who have borrowed millions from the banks against their native leased lands?

Ironical. In 2006 the then raging military commander Frank Bainimarama had gone to New Zealand for his granddaughter's christening but on learning that he might be arrested, FLED to Fiji, and executed the COUP

Fijileaks: Should Fiji Times publisher Arts be permitted to travel to NZ?

In December 2010 Mahendra Chaudhry's defence lawyer Rajendra Chaudhry had asked the Suva High Court for his father's bail to be granted without any restrictions, despite being charged with failure to surrender foreign currency, where it was alleged that "Mahendra Chaudhry between November 2000 and July 2010 retained [in Australia] the sum of AUS$1.5 million for his own use and benefit, without the consent of the
Governor of the Reserve Bank of Fiji". 

Rajendra Chaudhry had filed the application on his father’s behalf saying the FLP leader should be allowed to travel overseas. In his application to Justice Daniel Goundar, counsel Chaudhry stated that the current bail restrictions imposed on his client (father) was a violation of his (Mahendra Chaudhry's) basic human right to travel. Chaudhry’s application was based on the reason that he needed medical treatment in Australia. Rajendra Chaudhry told the court that his father would be in Australia from 28 December to 26 January for treatment. Chaudhry also asked if his client's wife (Mrs Chaudhry) could also accompany him on the trip as she also needed urgent medical treatment. State lawyer, Ana Tuiketei, did not oppose to Chaudhry’s application however she asked that bail be granted but with certain restrictions. She told Justice Goundar they were concerned that Chaudhry would likely access his account in Australia which they would be using as evidence. Mahendra Chaudhry was granted bail to travel. In January 2011 Mahendra Chaudhry was again allowed by Justice Goundar to travel to Hawaii for a conference organised by the Pacific Island Development Programme  conference. Rajendra Chaudhry told the court that Chaudhry was not a flight risk as he recently returned from Australia after medical treatment and that he still had two sureties who would vouch for this.
In February 2013,  Mahendra Chaudhry was again granted bail variation to travel to Australia for medical reasons between 4 and 18 March. There was widespread concern that if granted permission to travel to Australia, Chaudhry might not only use part of the money ($2million in Australia and over $400,000 in New Zealand bank accounts) but jump bail, and seek political asylum in Australia, given his high political profile. In the end, the High Court granted Chaudhry the permission to travel to Australia. We have no doubt that Arts would have returned to Fiji to stand trial. JUSTICE is meant to be BLIND. What about many Indo-Fijians who returned to Fiji after obtaining dual citizenship, only to rob, mess up, and run back to their adopted countries:

There is no consistency in the application of the law because it is individuals who must be pursued at all costs. The Rule of Law is thus held in abeyance and made to appear an ass. Let Chaudhary The Younger have the courage of his convictions. Braying in a void will do nothing for Fijians' Freedom from the fear of arbitrary arrest and malicious Due Process.

Good job judge. Fiji times is a piece of stinky dump anyway. Responsible for igniting fire and instigating the 87 and 2000 coup. You would know it more victor as u were in media that time. I was working for ft and I can tell you that they are no saints. There is a bunch of racists and self interest serving chimps and ministers bedwarming sluts everywhere. Serves them right.
