Background
The applicant had been convicted of contravening Section 60A of the Electricity Act and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. On 8 October 2021, while sitting in bail court, CHINAMORA J granted unconditional release from prison custody. The judge later realized this order was made in error as the record had already been reviewed and confirmed, and the order was granted without required concurrence of another judge.
