Legislator-Zusammenfassung

KI-generiert

The Supreme Court granted the Attorney-General's application to transfer a criminal trial from Limassol to Nicosia under Section 174 of the Criminal Procedure Law. While a previous application by the accused was dismissed due to insufficient evidence, new affidavits filed shortly before this hearing satisfied the court regarding the transfer grounds. The court ruled that the absence of opposition to the new application, combined with the fresh evidence, justified ordering the transfer as applied for.

DECISION

The decision of the Court was delivered by:-

TRIANTAFYLLIDES. P.: This is an application, made under section 174 of the Criminal Procedure Law, Cap. 155, by the Attorney-General of the Republic, on May 9, 1978, for the transfer to Nicosia of the trial of criminal case No. 22534/77, which has been committed for trial by the Limassol Assizes. [*4]

On. May 5, 1978, a similar application, Criminal Application No, 2/78, was made on behalf of the respondents, who are the accused in the said trial; on that occasion such application was dismissed because, on the grounds relied on in support of it and on the material then before the Court, we had not been satisfied that there had been established the existence of any one of the specific reasons enumerated in section 174 of Cap. 155.

This new application is based on grounds emanating from affidavits, sworn on May 8, 1978, and which were not, therefore, before us on May 5, 1978; in the light of such affidavits and in view, also, of the fact that the present application has not been opposed by the respondents, we are satisfied that we should order, under section 174(1)(e) of Cap. 155, that the trial of the case concerned should be transferred from Limassol to Nicosia.

Application granted.
