Court of Appeal is at trial-Morupisi

The former PSP currently fighting his impending return to jail for a sentence related to serious crimes of corruption and money laundering believes CoA Justice Singh Walia’s discretion in passing a suitable or condign punishment was vitiated by the fact that he paid obeyance to political considerations which are irrelevant in sentencing.

“In what setting did the President communicate these sentiments to members of the Court of Appeal? Was it a meeting between the President and Justice Walia or between President and all members of the Court of Appeal? Or was it a telephonic conversation? Was the rspondent's case discussed at that meeting or in that conversation? Did the President complain about the sentence imposed by Justice Chris Gabanagae at the Court below? Was the enhancement of sentence suggested or even prescribed by the President? What more was discussed?”
