RULING

This matter came up for plea on 31.8.2021, when same was adjourned after the accuseds asked for time to hire advocates arrangements were made and they were given advocates by the state. They have re-appointed the same advocates who left the case for lack of instructions. Whereas this is in order, it is strange that the advocates now are arguing against the taking of plea, whereas the ones who have been discharged had full briefs to proceed.

It is noted that the application before the Constitutional court was dismissed yesterday.

This matter is fixed for plea today. It is obvious accuseds have filed an application challenging same. I personally see no prejudice the accuses shall suffer should plea be taken. Their application, which has not been served on some could still be heard and orders issued on same. I order that plea be taken as fixed.
