Case summary
The application was found to be without merit and was accordingly dismissed [62]. The Court upheld the constitutionality of the statutory provisions and declined to grant the consequential order for a reading down of the CPO [21]. In the Court's view, this application was occasioned by nothing more than an apprehension on the part of the defendants, that the Prosecution’s last words may have some undetermined effect upon the determiner of fact, and not by any situation of substance of which the court must make inquiry under s. 21 and being satisfied of its merit, grant the relief sought.
