SummaryUnofficial

Three defendants, again placed in pre-trial detention by the Public Prosecution Service after release on bail, appealed against the decision of the President of the Supreme Court dismissing their habeas corpus application and fining them, also seeking a declaration that Article 292(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure was unconstitutional. The Court dismissed the appeal, holding that habeas corpus had been sought outside the exhaustive statutory grounds and that review of legal provisions falls outside this appeal.
