The owner of an education institution admitted to calling his ex-partner and telling her not to call his work but has had his more serious charges dropped.
Ashmeet Singh, 35, had his serious criminal trespass, assault and damage property charges not proceeded with by police last month but admitted to breaching bail.
During Singh's bail application last year, the court heard police were called to Singh's ex-partner's house after he allegedly broke into the house, assaulted her new partner and damaged property.
Singh was bailed on February 28, 2021, with a condition not to contact either of the alleged victims.
The court heard Singh's ex-partner received calls from a private number the following morning and answered, thinking it was the police.
She recognised Singh's voice straight away who said "don’t call work, don’t get them involved".
The court heard Singh admitted calling his ex-partner after receiving a phone call from a work colleague advising him that they were aware of the incident.
The court previously heard Singh was the owner of Wakefield International College – its website says it runs courses in commercial cookery, horticulture and business. Singh’s social media profile listed him as a director of the college.
Singh, of Mount Barker, pleaded guilty in the Adelaide Magistrates Court in March to breaching bail.
Taking into account the night Singh spent in custody, Magistrate John Fahey discharged him with no further penalty.
“The breach was … minor and understandable in the circumstances,” he said.
No conviction was recorded.
