Supreme Court of Georgia have received the most important decision on ,,Papuashvili case’’ – judges Maia Vachadze and Nugzar Skhirtladze refused to disscuss the ,,Papuashvili case’’, case considering administrative chamber chamber dissolved and the case was referred to head of the Supreme Court of Georgia Nino Gventadze, which, according to the law, must name the new board of judges.

According to Archil Kaikatsishvili the head of NGO "Young Barristers", lawyer of Roland Bladadze, the Supreme Court decision was not expected, because in court centence of 1st July 2017 Roland Bladadze intercede about judges Maia Vachadze and Nugzar Skhirtladze removal from the trial was not satisfied. The decision was met with strong protest, we  made public some evidences of participation these judges in case in the past, and noted that the Maya Vachadze Nugzar Skhirtladze unequivocally violated the Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct. Hence that plaintiff additionally refered court by written form and demanded decision to align, creation of standart justice and preclution of judges Maia Vachadze and Nugzar Skhirtladze. On 20th June 2017 judges Maia Vachadze and Nugzar Skhirtladze have received self-preclution decision. It has become a well-founded of the full distrust and a court reputation for upholding the principle.

According to Archil Kaikatsishvili any other Supreme Court judge is allowed to disscuss the ,,Papuashvili case’’ because since the time of any period, any of them, did not participate in the trial. Besides plaintiff has full confidence in the head of the Supreme Court of Georgia because hence high public interest, the trial of judges, are responsible not only for the parties involved in the process, but also the restoration of dignity and justice in the whole society. The Supreme Court decision, creates a belief in the community that the case will be discussed with impartial justice, victim will not suffer, historical justice will be resurrected judges will reseive principal decisions, court will resurrect Roland Bladadzes’ property rights, state will execute its’ positive obligation and give alternative property to George Papuashvili. Unfortunately, dealing with the restoration of historical justice, the lower courts failed, it does not answer any justice to suit the interests and institutional human rights protection mechanisms.

,,We are not waiting to someones defeat, we are waiting for winning of all parties of court process because court should restore historical justice and rely on the evidences and turn back the house of its’ only rightful owner, state should execute its’ positive obligation and give alternative property to former judge. Without a court decision, in spite of state will, it seems that the result will not be achieved.’’ – said Archil Kaikatsishvili.

Supreme court have received the case on 1st June 2017 for checking its admissibility. Plaintiff as yet cassation appeal format claimed Maia Vachadze and Nugzar Skhirtladze not to participate in case discussion, because Maia Vachadze participated 3 times and Nugzar Skhirtladze 2 times in court processes for resurrect Roland Bladadzes’ property rights. These judges, in all phases, has adopted a decision against Roland Bladadze. At the same time, this is the second time, after the Court of Appeal, which is the principal demand of the case, considering the chamber have been avoided. Roland Bladadze its claim requires, for annulling the 21th June 2007 Purchase Agreement dated June 21 as illegal and immoral agreement and recognize George Papuashvili as unconscientious buyer and owner.
