SummaryUnofficial

The appellant brought an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against a decision of the President of the Supreme Court closing his habeas corpus application as devoid of purpose, alleging unlawful detention beyond pre-trial detention time limits and breach of the right to liberty. The Court declared the proceedings closed as devoid of purpose because, in Judgment No. 922/2024, the appeal against his conviction had been dismissed, so he was now serving his sentence.
