The Court certified two questions of law of great and general importance and granted leave to appeal: (1) whether police officers are to be regarded as acting in the due execution of their duty when processing persons arrested on the order of a superior officer who had no reasonable ground for the arrest; and (2) whether delay between appellate hearing and judgment can constitute denial of justice warranting quashing of convictions; leave was granted also on the substantial and grave injustice basis to allow consideration of related issues including possible substitution of convictions.
