Because the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal against the total sentence and re‑imposed the total effective sentence, it became the sentencing court for all constituent sentences and was entitled to issue an amended warrant covering all charges; therefore the amended warrant and the subsequently issued order fixing the minimum period render the appellant's detention lawful and the habeas corpus application must be dismissed; challenges to minimum period/parole eligibility do not, in this context, constitute grounds for habeas corpus relief.
