Habeas corpus is not the correct procedure to relitigate or re‑examine a conviction of a court of competent jurisdiction or to obtain bail pending appeal; prior refusals under substantially the same grounds preclude further habeas applications under s15, and therefore the applicant's habeas corpus application is dismissed and properly dealt with on the papers.
