SummaryUnofficial

A defendant held in pre-trial detention lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against the order of the President of the Supreme Court dismissing his appeal against the refusal of his habeas corpus application, alleging lack of reasons for extending his detention. The Court dismissed the appeal, as habeas corpus is not the proper means to contest the grounds for pre-trial detention and the decision was properly reasoned, with no breach of fundamental rights.
