HC/226/10/CR/085/AO
OUSMAN DARRY……………………………………..APPLICANT
AND
THE STATE……………………………………………RESPONDENT
N. M. Cham Esq. for Applicant
M. B. Abubakar Esq. for the State
RULING
This is a Summons on Notice dated 29th April, 2010 and filed on 25th
April, 2010 wherein the Applicant asked for an order admitting him to
bail pending any charges that may be brought against him in Court.
The Summons is supported by an Affidavit of 9 paragraphs deposed
to by one Masaneh Darry who said he is the elder brother of the
Applicant Ousman Darry.
When the matter came up in Court on 12th May, 2010, it was not
clear the Respondent had been served with the process.
This is
because I did not see any affidavit of service in the file. However,
the Process Server was sent for and he explained that he served the
process at the office of the DPP and that he has been looking for the
Affidavit of Service he handed to the Clerk of Court to put into the
case file. I stood the case down and directed that the DPP’s office be
notified that the matter was in Court.
