PANJIM: The Goa government spent Rs 7.5 lakh per day on Arvind Datar, senior counsel who initially represented the state before the Supreme Court in the mining case, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar said.
Responding to the motion of thanks to the governor’s address Parrikar in response to criticism from San André MLA Vishnu Wagh, said: “If you throw peanuts, you get monkeys.”
Wagh has questioned what the Advocate General Atmaram Nadkarni was doing in Sabarimala on the first day of the hearing, when he ideally should have been in court.
Datar argued on behalf of the state in initial arguments and defended the state’s government’s actions and its measures to put in place for restart of mining.
However, in the later hearings, the state was represented by it’s advocate general.
Parrikar sought to give credit to the Advocate General, who he said was responsible for securing the e-auction. Arvind Datar appeared for the Goa government for a minimum of eight days.
