A Federal High Court in Lagos yesterday quashed the deportation of the Vaswani Brothers, the withdrawal of expatriate quota of companies within the Stallion Group and the repatriation of such staff. Justice A. M. Liman in his judgement described their deportation and other actions taken against Sunil, Haresh and Mahesh Vaswani as unlawful, and directed the reinstatement of their expatriate quota.
The Judge agreed with the counsels to the plaintiffs Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim SAN, who led Professor G. A Olawoyin SAN, Mr. Tunji Oyeyipo SAN and Mr J. A. Badejo, that the Vaswani’s cannot be deported.

The Judge said their expatriate quotas and staff cannot also be withdrawn and repatriated respectively without complying with Section 36 of the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 and Articles 7, 12(4) & (5) of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights.

The Judge held that failure of the government to seek and obtain representation from Stallion Group is a breach of their fundamental rights as enshrined in the Constitution. A statement by one of its directors, Alhaji Tajudeen Olalere reads in part: The judgement puts an end to our unfortunate predicament.

Forward, backward, forward, backward, Nigerian government on the march again

Hhhhmnnnnn

I ams surprised nobody mentioned these guys in the current bank drama

Hold on, who are these vaswani brothers?

@MUNEER 2


vaswani brothers are indian business mogul based in 9ja,if am nt wrong.

You mean these dudes are yet to be deported all these thousands of months?
Someone tell me what has been happening

Forward, backward, forward, backward, Nigerian government on the march again

What is forward and backward in this case. You can't separate judicial from the executive anymore?

Two steps forward . . . twenty steps back!

are these Vaswani brothers not Nigerians by now?

They should at least have Nigerian green cards if not citizenship. Why invest so much in Nigeria and not have a personal interest there?

borrow a page from western countries nah! Spare us all this deportation drama every so often.

Or is there something I'm missing?

Someone please fill me in. What actually was their crime in Nigeria.

Cheating the FG.

Vaswani and their partners are just buying their way out of crime. How can a company involved in countless fraud be exonerated all of a sudden?

this is a serious drama

What about the case of tax evasion and fraud aginst the FG

Wow, finally the courts are working in Nigeria.

This is what the courts are for, to stop the FG from overreaching.

Nigerian government comprise legislature, executive and judiciary period.

Military govt first deported them, Obj reversed it and later deported them. Umaru came and reversed Obj decision only to turn around to deport them within a year. Now that has been reversed again whether by executive or judiciary, it is nigerian govt that is going forward and backward

why am i not suprised wonder how much it cost

well, u only move backward if and only if u ve taken a step forward, but in a case where there is no space btw u and the back!

Vaswani brothers again.
Doesn't their drama ever end?

Vaswani brothers again.

So, they have a long history of Drama?

Na Dangote be the problem of those guys. That guy thrives on monopoly and does not tolerate competition

we can always go through the wall, if we haven't already, lol

What kind of drama is this sef? Government should take a permanent stand about this case and save us the burden of their indecisions.

Why am I not surprised, do you guys know how many of these Asian ( Indians, chinkos, Lebanese etc) guys cheat our govt( who cares) but they also cheat our fellow Nigerians that work for them as well

They only strive cos our system is so corrupt and they know they can buy their way with money in any of our government institutions.

Its a shame that the court even disapprove thier deportation, Mind you this is not the first time these guys (vaswani) have been deported.

but how do these guys get deported and come back only to be deported again?

go ask the immigration, shebi the nigerian customs and some statutory bodies were mentioned in the case. where dem dey now?

Keyamu has solid evidence against our present CG of customs that YaraDull imposed on us. what has come out of it?

Abeegi nothing go happen till we change our ways

Who would have imagined that  Nigerian citizenship would be a treasure! Maybe we should be taught by these guys on 101 reasons why we should hold on to our  citizenship.

cvibe:

Cheating the FG.

u are so wrong on this one,
they provided cheap rice to the Nigeria masses, a move dangote frawned at.

I don't know why no one is talking about this being another 'policy sommersault gone wrong by the Yar'adua government'. These guys were already kicked out of Nigeria but Tanimu Kurfi's number economic assignment as Yar'adua's economic adviser was to bring back the Vaswanis.

In fact Tanimu and Aondoakaa jetted to London to have a meeting with this guys all in their bid to woo these guys. So I honestly don't know why the same Governmment is wasting everyone's time by going to court.

I think they should leave the vaswanis alone and think of how to tighten our system so that people can not continue to cheat the system whether you are Indian, Lebanese, Chinese or Nigerian.

veto power is sweet oooo,kai !!! uncle na waoooo

ppp power power 2 the people ppp , kai uncle sege u i gbadun u. vaswani no vaswani u don kicked them out wn dey r becoming too mouthed!!!!!!!

They are always deported everytime only to be brought back after they have settled the new powers that be!! Everybod wan chop the cake jare!!
And dem get Naija citizenship, so why deport them??

At the end of the day they will pass the "settlement" in the form of higher prices to the Nigerian public!! As long as they do not outsell Dangote they will be fine!!
The rice and cars they sell are cheaper than any other Naija company and people like Dangote can not compete with them so they get deported.

They were planning mass rice cultivation in Nigeria----which is directly antagonistic to a lot of Nigerian Importers!!
