Mickky seeks time to surrender

NEW DELHI: Goa's Rural Development and Archaeology Minister Francisco Xavier alias Mickky Pacheco has moved the Supreme Court seeking extension of time to surrender after four weeks to undergo six months of jail for assaulting an electricity department engineer in 2006 in the latter's office.

His petition is listed before the Bench of Justices Fakkir Mohd Kalifulla and Shiva Kirthi Singh on Monday. 
Pacheco, who is a Goa Vikas Party MLA, has been dodging the jail term since he was sentenced to undergo six months of imprisonment in October 2011. On March 30, the Supreme Court had dismissed his earlier petition and he has been in hiding since then.
