Ajay Chattradhari Daby (अजय छट्रधारी द॓बी), born 29 December 1955, is a political figure in Mauritius. He did his secondary schooling at the Royal College of Curepipe. Called to the Bar of England in 1978, Ajay Daby studied in the United Kingdom and is a member of The Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, London. Daby started his legal career as a private legal practitioner before joining the State Law Office as State Prosecutor, but only for a very brief period. He soon resigned from his post in the Judiciary to join politics. Elected MP in 1982 in Flacq-Bon Acceuil, Constituency No 9 at the age of 26, he became the youngest MP in the country. He was further elected as Deputy Speaker of the Parliament of Mauritius. In 1983 he joined hands with Sir Aneerood Jugnauth as one of the founders of the Militant Socialist Movement (MSM), was re-elected MP of Flacq-Bon Acceuil under the banner of the newly created MSM and went on to become the youngest Speaker of the Commonwealth and Association des Parlementaires de Langue Francaise (AIPLF). He was re-elected MP a third time, in Constituency No 11 (Rose-Belle/Vieux Grand Port) and was called upon to take the post of Speaker of the Legislative Assembly yet again. In 1990, on a question of principle, Mr Daby refused to give the casting vote much needed by the then government to change the status of Mauritius to that of a republic and sever ties with the British Crown. He voiced his dissent with his leader and party on this question, arguing that a motion of such importance could not be presented with a certificate of urgency as part of an overnight political deal between two parties. Besides, Mr Daby, throughout his Speakership, had never used his casting vote. The MSM - MMM newly formed coalition not having the required three-quarters majority to expel Mr Daby from his Speakership, went ahead to amend the Constitution to enable the removal of the Speaker by a simple majority. On 5 December 1990, the Constitution of Mauritius was amended and Mr Daby removed from his Speakership by a simple majority vote. In 2001, Mr Daby was made Commissionner for Drug Assets Forfeiture under the government of Sir Anerood Jugnauth and later, Paul Bérenger. When the government lost the 2005 elections, Mr Daby resigned from his post. Mr Daby is back to the Bar, and is regularly seen in high-profile cases. ==External links== * () * () * () * () * () 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ajay Daby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
