The bench led by Judge President, Ian Kirby will not be making any determination on the part of constitutionality on the matter in which Mokone is appealing a High Court judgement that found part of the sedition law to be constitutional.

The justices said they could not be expected to determine whether Sections 50 and 51 of the penal code were ultra vires (beyond the powers) to Section 12 of the Constitution as they were not presiding over the sedition case which is currently pending at the Magistrate’s Court.
