Known for her quiet nature and kind heart, Me Beebee was highly respected.

“Recently, she came to me asking to be replaced because she was unwell. I was happy to do so. She was excellent at her work and very meticulous. Her door was always open. Her loss is a big blow to our profession. She was a true diamond,” said Me Jaykar Gujadhur.

Me Gujadhur also recalled her honesty and professionalism.

“In civil cases, she guided me to find the right conclusion. When there was no substance in a case, she said there was no case and we didn’t go forward,” he added.

Colleagues and friends paid tribute, especially remembering her son, Me Nabil Moolna, also an attorney.

Beyond her professional achievements, her compassion and humanism touched everyone she encountered. Her career and character leave a lasting legacy in Mauritius’s legal field.
