The Supreme Court dismissed the application on the basis that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain the matter. The applicant had not filed the application pursuant to the correct provisions of the law, specifically Article 163(4)(a) or (b) of the Constitution and the relevant sections of the Supreme Court Act, which govern the Supreme Court's appellate jurisdiction. There was no appeal or intended appeal from the Court of Appeal, and the applicant had not sought or obtained certification from the Court of Appeal as required for matters of general public importance. The orders sought were not within the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, and the cited rules did not support the reliefs sought. The Court reiterated that it must be moved under the correct legal provisions and proper procedure must be followed before invoking its jurisdiction.
