Legislator-Zusammenfassung

KI-generiert

The Supreme Court granted the Attorney-General's application to transfer the preliminary inquiry and potential trial of criminal case No. 11942/85 from Larnaca to Nicosia. Although the respondents were absent from court, the court ruled that their absence did not prevent the hearing of the application. The decision was based on security concerns rather than the procedural defect of the respondents' non-appearance.

[*313] 1985 Nov.11

(TRIANTAFYLLIDES P.,SAVVIDES, LORIS,STYLIANIDES, KOURRIS JJ.)

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF CYPRUS

The Attorney-General of the Republic,

Applicant,

v.

1. Khalet Abdel Kader Al Khatib,

2. Abdel Hakim Saado El Khalifa,

3. Ian Michael Davison,

Respondents.

(Criminal Application No.6/85)

Criminal procedure - Section 174(1)(d) and (e) of the Criminal Procedure Law, Cap. 155 - Application by Attorney-General that the preliminary inquiry and in case of committal the trial of a criminal case of the District Court of Larnaca should take place in the District Court of Nicosia - Granted, on grounds of security - Absence of respondents from Court - Does not prevent The court from dealing with the said application.

M. Kyprianou, Senior Counsel of the Republic with S.Matsas, for the applicant.

H. Solomonides, for the respondents.

ORDER

The order of the Court was delivered by:

TRIANTAFYLLIDES, P.: In the light of the contents of the application of the Attorney-General, which was filed on 31st October 1985 and of the arguments which were advanced today by counsel appearing for the Attorney-General, and having heard also counsel for the respondents who does [*314] not object to such application, we have decided to order, under section 174(1)(d) and (e) of the Criminal Procedure Law, Cap. 155, primarily for reasons of security, that the preliminary inquiry, and in case the respondents are committed for trial, the trial before an Assize Court of criminal case No. 11942/85, of the District Court of Larnaca should take place in the District Court of Nicosia.

As regards the absence of the respondents today from Court, which apparently is due to the fact that they did not wish to be present, we have not found that, in the light of the case of Attorney-General of the Republic v. Christodoulou, (1973) 2 C.L.R. 308, such absence prevents us from dealing with this application today; but we would like to draw attention to the case of The Republic v. Demetriades, (1973) 2 C.L.R. 289, regarding the matter of the presence of the respondents at the trial.

Application granted.
