Penang Sports Club’s bar and restaurant had been closed. Chained and locked to be exact.
A court bailiff sealed the main bar and restaurant of the Penang Sports Club to recover judgment costs and interests awarded to a lawyer about a year ago.
The bailiff, known only as Ariff, arrived at 2.30pm yesterday to serve the writ of seizure and sales to the club.
He proceeded to take an inventory of items to be seized at the bar, restaurant, games room and tennis courts.
Lawyer Darshan Singh Khaira, who on Sept 21, 2004, won an appeal against the club for wrongful termination of his membership 10 years ago was awarded RM133,633.36 in costs and interests.
In 1997, when he lost his suit against the club for wrongful termination, the High Court ordered him to pay judgment costs of RM76,849 to the club.
The club suspended him for 10 months after he was allegedly involved in a fracas with a club member in the club premises in 1995.
Earlier, Darshan, 57, barged into the club lobby and demanded that the club be immediately closed while club officials and the bailiff were discussing the writ.
“Give me the money first and then I’ll reopen the club,” he said in reply to the management’s request that he followed them to the bank to get the money.
He dangled metal chains around the door handles at the main entrance of the clubhouse and later proceeded to direct his assistant to chain-lock the bar.
Darshan told reporters in Hokkien, “This is just the beginning. I won (my appeal) and they must give my money back.”
He also said he was claiming RM3.5mil in damages from the club for expelling him.
Club manager (I) Sunny Kumaraisen declined to comment.
