    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP3562/1994

    The court ordered that writs of habeas corpus issue because the applicants presented an arguable case of unlawful detention requiring a full merits hearing; however the hearing should be scheduled early in January to allow respondents reasonable time to investigate and prepare affidavits and arguments, and that scheduling delay was proportionate given the existing length of detention.
