From the record, it is apparent that the plea was taken on 22nd October, 2003 by Hon. Justice Jessie Lesiit. Apparently, since then, the 12 months that were envisaged by Rule 12 (4) of the 5th Schedule of the Children’s Acthas already elapsed. The Assistant Deputy Public Prosecutor viz, Mr.Gumo has correctly and wisely conceded to the application.

In view of the above, the case is hereby dismissed. The Accused is hereby discharged and shallnot be liable to any further proceedings for the same offence.

The Subject should be released forthwith unless held lawfully.

Those are the orders of the Court.
