Former lawyer for PO has been accused of lying
A former lawyer for the Post Office has been accused of lying about the existence of a bug in the Horizon IT system, which would have explained shortfalls in Post Office branch accounts.
Jarnail Singh was sent a report identifying the glitch, but did not disclose it during the trial of a former subpostmistress who was later jailed for theft.
Mr Singh told the Post Office Inquiry he hadn't been aware of the report.

Should be known as Mr. Nothing. He heard nothing, saw nothing, acted on nothing, witnessed nothing, was responsible for nothing, had liability for nothing, his knowledge was nothing, and his computer skills were less than nothing.
Sgt Schultz from the American comedy "Hogan's Heroes." "I know NOTHING! I see NOTHING!"
I bet he wasn’t paid nothing !!!!
He's no snitch
It's hard to believe that all these people at the top of their profession, are all incompetent idiots, could they be lying for money and to protect themselves and others? Surely no one is as low as that, to give up all your values and principles for money, looks like I could be wrong.
this reminds me of the fawlty towers episode, "i know nothing" kzhead.info/sun/obxwc8mMj6GurI0/bejne.html
I watched the entire two days interviews. He was atrocious. The evidence is all there and this worm tried to wriggle away from everything. Excuse after excuse. I hope he goes to jail.
He deserves to go to jail and also have to pay compensation to all the victims he was involved in helping be prosecute.
Really hope so hideous human being
Can't see him going to jail the more politically amare know the law protect these people
@@michaelmcginley7930I’m not sure he’ll avoid going to jail. The emails and information he was clearly in receipt of is the ‘smoking gun’. Clear evidence of perjury and a clear intention to pervert the course of justice.
If none of these people get prosecuted for their actions ,,,,, then it just confirms we live in a country run by the rich protecting the rich !!!
Agreed dave hughes.if they are not prosecuted then my slim confidence in the law is shattered.why should ordinary people do the right thing if they escape justice
His body language gave him away he was lying 100%
As soon as he starts speaking, he’s lying through his teeth.
And that's a cautious estimate
@@johnbradshaw7525trying to bring his religioun into disrepute by saying he swore on his religiouns book ..hence he would never lie.giving his shik religioun a bad name
@@michaelmcginley7930 I'm not trying to bring his religion into dispute. Where in my comment did i mention his religion?
If these people do not go to prison for a very long time for sending innocent people to tell there is no justice
Criminal convictions will go a long way, but there can only be a full balancing of justice if the innocents win civil actions for damages against these people personally. Sadly, I wonder if that is likely to succeed - instead the wins will be against the corporates, ie stinging us taxpayers (yet again) and maybe Fujitsu shareholders' pockets.
@@ChangesOneTimthe evidence we’ve heard at the inquiry proves that he perverted the course of justice. A criminal act. It’s the ‘we’ve gottcha’ moment as far as police/cps are concerned. It would be a crime in itself if he wasn’t personally charged.
As soon as he opens his mouth, lies pour out. It's absolutely laughable that he claims not to know how to save a document on his PC.
He doesn't care how stupid or incompetent he looks, just as long as he doesn't commit perjury! His only aim is to stay out of jail.
@@alanmexico01 think it might be a bit late for that.
Awful man
@@alanmexico01the evidence is quite clear that he has perverted the course of justice. He received, saved AND printed vital evidence that would have prevented Missra from going to jail only days before the trial. It’s called being caught red handed
Go directly to jail. Do not pass go.
I assume he will claim he never received the e-mail telling him where 'Go' was?
But he has a get out of jail free card all these scumbags were given one before the inquiry.they will never see the inside a jail call unless they watch re runs of the bill
Another post office LIAR (with the standard post office bad memory...). Just jail him.And the other post office LIARS!!!
Yes ! (Oh, and take away their 6 and 7 figure bonuses where applicable).
The entire lot are beyond corrupt. All should be jailed for life
If no one is prosecuted following this public enquiry, than that in itself will be just as big of a scandal.
We all know the type. Feels powerful, people asking his opinion, his chest inflated, his ego more so. Shame it was at the expense of the inmocent.
His testimony set a new low. I thought the Inquiry had plumbed the depths with Bogerd, but this person was on a different level. I didn't know how to save or print a document. I never saw the e-mail. I never made any decisions. I was not qualified. What I wrote was not what I meant. Etc., etc.
This was his third appearance, the other two just as appalling. Jason Beer can barely contain his contempt for this cretin. Check out Elaine Cottam's appearance. Absolutely jaw dropping.
"I don't recall lying so often your Honour."
I have great admiration for Jason Beers articulacy, his methodical approach, his quiet charm, his ability to convey impartiality, his devastating skill in making his points and his extraordinary grasp in depth of all that material. An outstanding advocate. Mr Singh had probably never bargained on someone like Jason. He didn't know how to save a document. Knows how to deceive though
The restraint of both Mr. Beer and Sir Wyn, in not throwing heavy objects at the series of liars and charlatans with which they are regularly confronted, is quite admirable.
Brilliant lawyer.
Agree.... I know it's not a trial, but couldn't they push more?
@@alanmexico01 As it is an Inquiry rather than a trial, it seems that there are fairly tight time constraints. Given the quality (or lack thereof) of many witnesses, allowing them to dig deep holes for themselves without much aid seems to be working quite effectively.
@@alanmexico01 I don't think there's much need really. These testimonies are given under oath and there's swathes of evidence now. I think there's more than enough (especially from the catastrophically stupid Mr Bradshaw and Mrs Van den Bogerd) to start some very very costly prosecutions to come. It's good that we have Beer etc to make the most of the time and extract what he can regarding an outline of the truth of things relating to the evidence we now have, and this at least helps to expose the injustice to some degree for those wronged and those who have taken their lives over the fraud perpetrated by PO. But the time for pushing more I think is when we REALLY get to see these people bankrupted and jailed when they have to compensate their victims in the upcoming case after case after case after case. "I don't recall" just won't matter a great deal; we have their evidence now AND their sworn testimonies.
What I fear is that the people responsible for this scandal won’t get prosecuted, by the the time this inquiry is over and findings are made public it will be months/years before the cps decides to charge those responsible and by then I guarantee some will claim ill health or some other excuse to evade prosecution or accountability, the cps should be investigating and interviewing now and charging people the moment the inquiry finishes otherwise those who are really responsible will use their power and connections to walk free!!
Sometime last year I read that police are on the case and - especially as of Phase 4 - following things closely. All witness evidence is written under a statement of truth and orally under oath, so no reason for the Met to delay. Long before the Inquiry concludes they'll surely (at least) have enough on which to start 'inviting' individuals to attend voluntarily to be interviewed under caution, then take things from there - arrest/ charge etc.😊
@@ChangesOneTim Unfortunately the police are on the case doesn't bring much confidence. They are corrupt, inept, incompetent and self serving just as much as these Post Office creatures.
They should lose their licenses
More astonishing is how they got one😂
This oath thing is farcical 😅
There are Sikhs angry with him for bringing their religion and Guru Nanak into disgrace.
@@misterbonzoid5623 I'm quite sure your correct. My nabours are Sikh and we have a lovely friendship.
So he didn't know how to save a file or print a document while he was using computer on a daily business. He helped setup Gareth Jenkins as the scapegoat for the whole thing.
What a worm. 'I didn't know, l wasn't responsible for that, l was doing what l was asked to do, l was acting as a postbox, so other people could make decisions l was doing what l was l was told to do...' Yuk, is he really a qualified lawyer?
For the time being…
Disgusting thing is he won't got to jail and won't be struck off.the po mastars should take out a private prosecution
Are any of these lying post office liars going to be charged with perjury?!
A lawyer is seriously saying that he doesn't know how to save a document on a computer, yeh right!!
These people think they're smarter than us.
We need to see Post Office executives and their lying lawyers (seen here) doing jail time for this and heavy compensation for their victims and the families of lost victims.
No surprises here. The UK seems to have no idea what they're up against when it comes to their particular level of crime. Now the country is over run and absolutely terrifying to look at. SMH!
If he did nothing, what did he get paid for? If nothing else he should be arrested for embezzlement!!!
It appears the truth is a stranger to him.
Post office lawyer was sent a email to his email address, the email printed and was present in his hard drive but he hasn't a clue and said he did know anything about it .
It’s like Frost/Nixon all over again
In 2010 a lawyer didn’t know how to save a document? These ppl can literally get away with anything. Lock the pos up
Shout out for Jason Beer for his magnificent composure and skewering of Mr Singh. He won't let flu stand in his way of the sterling job he's doing. 👏
What a cover-up 😮 so many liars in one business. Disgraceful 😮
The unspoken worry must be how many other large organisations are infested with creatures like this one?
Will anyone be prosecuted & go to jail for a long time. Lives have been destroyed. This cannot be just another lessons will be learnt bla bla
I was computer illiterate in 1998, but the first lesson I learned on my Apple Performa was creating documents , opening new folders, and saving documents to folders. It is utterly inconceivable that a lawyer did not know how to do that in 2001. He’s lying.
Make that 2010, his story is a complete lie
Do the mental health system next
What a self indulgent liar? I bet he was absent at school when they taught it was wrong to lie.
Doesn't know how save a document on a computer, he must think we are stupid. Like so many of the management of the PO should be in criminal court, but with this Singh character he has the additional crime of perjury to answer. Lots of porridge to be struck off dismissed from the bar.
Swears to tell the truth then lies. Honest injun???
Speaks with forked tongue.
A confounded liar.
Looks very nervous......Just so many lies....
Corporate industry is full of this type. Don't know, can't remember... I wish the prosecutors would read out their CVs and LinkedIn profiles where they extol their abilities and achievements.
He doesn't know how to print.....Control P.
The guy signs all his emails Jairnal Singh - Criminal Lawyer. Nuff said.
Surely PO lawyer Mr Singh was lying under oath. Working at Post Office for years and he says he did not know how to save and print a file. Any professional person needs to keep & retain digital information as part of doing their job. People can learn to do that within minutes. The report he received identifying bugs in the Horizon system was saved and printed out within 9 minutes. With a signature footnote user identification of the person printing the copy from a machine at the bottom of the pages. It's difficult to believe his statement, yet he denies receiving the report. If Mr Singh did not personally print the report as claimed, who did? And wouldn't it have been passed to him!
Alone for lying now in the inquiry he should lose his license and be sent to prison.
Funny how they recollect no details that may incriminate them but perfectly recollect minute details that help them. Someone should hack these peoples phones and emails in the interest of justice
The sooner MR BATES starts the crowd fund for private prosecution,s the better......my money is ready and waiting.......
Should be in prison for their crimes against the people.they knew .
Isn't it funny how all those responsible for these terrible miscarriages of justice can never recall anything they are accused of? Are we ever going to see these evil people jailed?
Amazing how working for the Post Office causes memory loss. Vennells will be appearing soon. I predict she'll have had an unfortunate bang on the head by then and won't even remember her name.
I wonder if she will wear her dog collar when she gives her evidence?
A lying lawyer? NO WAY !!!!!!!! 😮
If these people get off after innocent people where sent to prison then I'd fully understand if those innocent people took the law into their own hands.
Out of all of them This guy was the Worse ! Biggest case of Amnesia, Surely him Blatantly lying carries some sort of Punishment ?
An Indian who is unable to save or print out a document.
Exactly!!! This country is doomed.
"Nothing but the truth" Shouldn't that be "nothing LIKE the truth" ?
The thing about this is the power of the the big people they will never ever let a wee person get the better of them, this is beyond belief, beyond belief doesn't come close people, WTF
Former Lawyer for a specific reason
Still listed. So hasn’t been disbarred (yet)
@@edittide9842 Very good 🙃
Someone in his position of power and influence lying and corrupting the legal process should go to prison PERMANENTLY.
Anyone else noticed that he's removed the gold rings and chain he was wearing when he first gave evidence last year?
He said he was very low in the pecking order just above the tea lady so how could he know anything.😀.
So corrupt and this man is supposed to be a lawyer God help us 😮 The inquiry is very professional and I’m very grateful that there’s some justice after all
I definitely honestly wasn't covering up the bug but I honestly definitely don't remember anything else...
This guy would make a great bed fellow for Boris. Neither of them can speak without spouting lies.
Can't save a document on a computer? FFS, i had colleagues approaching retirement in 1999 and they could write, edit and save documents... Notice he says "I don't recall..." Very lawyerly response....
Fair play to those who spoke out. But how many TV channels and journalists knew about all this for years, but said and did nothing?
And everything but the truth.
JAIL time beckons. Crowdfund. It can be done.
I watched this and previous hearings. Jail. And Vennels.
I was saving documents on Windows 95 back, oooh, last century and I'm was just a lowly office manager not some legal big wig in a national corporation.
This person deserves to stand in front of a jury and have a fair trial for the seeming crimes they have committed . If the police don't act we need to follow Alan Bates and crowdfund such a process. We cannot let these people get away without a trial. My cheque book is ready if no action is taken. Let's have some proper justice for teflon executives for a change and get faith back in justice. Please join me if we need to Crowd fund for postmaster justice.
It took a documentary to bring this to light.. ridiculous
I’d of hated to of had mr Singh as my lawyer at court 😂😂😂😂
Let's hope at the end of this enquiry the real people who covered up and lied get put on trial!.
Jarnail Singh lying through his teeth deserved prison time.
He's as guilty as a puppy standing next to a pile of poo
Was this in England?
0:40 An attachment is saved to "Temporary Internet Files" automatically when it is opened. He's got a very selective memory, but he didn't manually save the document.
But he did open and print it
Nothing surprising there then .
A damn liar.
I’ve seen straighter circles !
Miss misra should consider a private prosecution of This lawyer for perjury.
Charge him with perjury, and throw the book at him.
Disgusting. Incapable of telling the truth
He is either massively incompetent or a compulsive liar.
He’s both massively incompetent & a compulsive liar. He should have two jail sentences, one for knowingly being involved in the prosecution of innocent people & another for committing perjury under oath. And that also applies to all the others in the Post Office & Fujitsu who have done exactly the same. They’re all liars and every single one of them should be prosecuted & jailed for what they did to those poor people.
Who was he walking out at the end. Was it Dilly the bond dickinson lawyer
They all need prison time. How is the CEO just getting away with this. DISGRACE, she hasn't even be removed from her position as a vicar, how evil is that.
Post office criminal organisation personnel
I wouldn’t be surprised that the post office had lost shares so they attacked the common man instead!
At the end hurrying home for the demon to zip out of his human skin👹
SGT SCHULTZ would've seen more, known more and done more.
I wonder what the bar association will do with him. Lying under oath.
How many liers worked for the post office. It's an utter sham. . And what the Fuc# was he saying.
DISBAR HIM NOW.
Its the same as the politicians...' i dont recall...'
A Criminal Lawyer? He's just a criminal.
None of them can ever remember the documents in question, so they are either spectacularly incompetent or bare faced liars, suspect the latter. Heads need to roll for this, I back prison terms, up to and including Paula Vennells.
That Lawyer is such a savagely bad actor, reminds me of trashy Bollywood movies. A very callous and calculated actor
Jail time
is he really saying he didnt have office staff that done all his admin, i smell bullshit
Well theres a shocker
Jail him and confiscate his assets , his bank accounts , his pensions, passports , and then jail him until he goes on a public trial in court
Damn. Swearing on guru nanak and then lying. Guess he doesn’t mind offending his God/ spiritual being
