Facts of the Case
Background
Applicant was convicted of assault in July 1999, fined $400 or two months imprisonment, and sentenced to one month suspended imprisonment. He was dismissed from the Zimbabwe Republic Police under s 48(a) of the Police Act. He successfully appealed against both conviction and sentence, but his request for reinstatement was refused. His appeal to the Police Services Commission was dismissed as out of time. The Supreme Court found the dismissal unlawful and remitted the matter for determination of reinstatement or damages.
