3. He filed HC CR. Misc. Application E093/2022 seeking leave to appeal out of time two years later and the application was dismissed on 11/10/2022. He now by his application subject of this ruling dated 24/5/2023 seeks for rehearing of sentence.

4. He filed submissions to canvass the application. The prosecution too filed submissions dated 14/5/2024 opposing the application.
