Is it possible to be a Law Lord of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC), Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Mauritius, Senior Puisne Judge, Judge, Magistrate, Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Attorney General or Barrister in the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) or Judiciary of Mauritius, France, India, USA or UK, and a Freemason at the same time? It's entirely possible. But there is a problem that exists with this practice. “Éric de Montgolfier, public prosecutor in Nice (France) for ten years, insists that it is not Masonic affiliation that is embarrassing, but its use. But it places membership in a Church, a sect or a Masonic Lodge on the same level. What poses a problem with a Freemason is when he does not reveal himself, because this opens the possibility of occult operations. This applies to a magistrate as well as to a lot of people.” Freemason magistrates should reveal themselves (OBS). These judicial Freemasons who refuse to reveal themselves can commit abuses and violate the rights of others who are not Freemasons. It should be noted that Freemasons are not above the law. They must strictly respect the rule of law, like all citizens who are not Freemasons, and avoid imposing their superiority in legal matters. Otherwise, it could lead to anarchy within the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) and Judiciaries of Mauritius, France, India, USA and UK.
