Background
The applicant, who was on trial for rape before a regional magistrate in Chinhoyi, made a discharge application under s 198(3) of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act after the prosecution closed its case. The regional magistrate dismissed the application and ordered the applicant to be placed on his defence. The applicant then launched a review application in the High Court.
