TypeCriminalPostureApplication for release of passportCoramD. O. OGEMBO
Holding
The court dismisses the application, finding no change in circumstances and no merit in the request for release of the passport.
Facts
The accused was on bail and had her passport deposited in court. The prosecution alleged she worked in Dubai, but the defense denied this. The court had previously ordered her to deposit her passport and not leave the jurisdiction without leave.
Issues
- Whether the accused's passport should be released
- Whether the accused's travel would be hindered by the passport deposit
Reasoning
The court found that the passport deposit was meant to ensure the accused's appearance in court and not to prevent travel. The application did not address the court's order requiring leave to leave the jurisdiction.
Outcome
Application dismissed
Orders
- That the applicant do deposit her passport in court within 7 days of that date.
- That the applicant shall not leave the jurisdiction of the court without leave of the court.
