The application for a certificate under s32(2) was refused because the asserted points of law were either not raised below, were context‑specific and not suitable as points of general importance, or were already disposed of by authority (notably Lok Kar Win); further, the 'reasonable grounds to believe' test does not infringe the presumption of innocence and the burden remains on prosecution; the application for extension of time was refused for insufficient explanation of delay.
