The court observed that the High court was not affected by the stay of
proceedings and the applicant’s bail was being renewed monthly and that
bail as a right has limitations, therefore since the applicant was accused
of stealing colossal sums of money, it was important to stay within the
jurisdiction of court. It was stated that the application was before an
improper court as the High Court was the right forum since it is charged
with unlimited jurisdiction over all criminal and civil matters, it was
improper for the applicant to file the application in the constitutional court
where he had no locus standi.
The application was thereby dismissed
