: Panaji Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Artikumari Naik on Monday adjourned to June 12 the deposition of Union Ayush Minister Shripad Naik after he sought time to appear as a witness in a cheating case filed against Vinod Desai who had posed to be his staff. Having failed to secure the job, Mr. Fernandes demanded that the amount be refunded. After repeated reminders, on June 28, 2017, Mr. Desai issued Mr. Fernandes a cheque of ₹1 lakh. In November last, Mr. Fernandes initiated criminal proceedings for cheque bouncing against Mr. Desai before the Panaji Court. The JMFC summoned Mr. Shripad Naik to testify and give material evidence on what he knew about the case.
