A citizen lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a Supreme Court judgment refusing his habeas corpus application, alleging breach of the right to habeas corpus, the principle of legality and the rights to fair proceedings and to liberty. The Court declared the proceedings terminated as moot because the appellant had been released by order of the first-instance court on the ground that the pre-trial detention time limit had been exceeded.
