R v Muhammed Jan

R v Muhammed Jan

The grounds of appeal raised by the applicant were all considered and addressed at trial, and the evidence against him was overwhelming, including identification by three complainants, DNA evidence, and admissions in interview. There was no arguable basis for finding the convictions unsafe or for granting an extension of time. The applications were hopeless and warranted a loss of time order.
