Issuance of the warrant on 30 November 1985 was valid despite non‑filing until 14 January 1986 because the Magistrates Ordinance authorises a magistrate to issue a warrant on oath without prior lodging and retention of documents by the prosecution does not negate the magistrate's exercise of jurisdiction; there was no real likelihood of bias or breach of natural justice in the circumstances, so the motion fails.
