- High Court
The application was dismissed because it impermissibly sought to relitigate the District Court's bail ruling; the Court held that habeas corpus is not the appropriate procedure to challenge such bail decisions, and ss 14(1A)(a),(b) and 15(1) of the Habeas Corpus Act bar further re-examination of substantially the same questions, permitting rejection on the papers.
