The Applicant is moving this Court asking it to review the records of the Primary Court and quash the conviction and set aside the sentence and set him free. The Applicant was convicted by the Primary Court of the offence of robbery with violence. The Primary Court sentenced the Applicant to thirty years in prison. He appealed to the District Court which not only dismissed his appeal, but gave an additional punishment of 12 strokes of the can on top of the 30-years prison sentence. Further appeal to the High Court was not successful, the High Court found that his plea at the Primary Court was unequivocal and confirmed the decision of Appellate District Court in enhancing the sentence. When this application seeking the review of the decisions of lower courts came up for hearing for the first time the learned State Attorney who was representing the Respondent Republic asked the presiding Judge to refer the Applicant to mental examination under section 219 of the Criminal Procedure Act, Cap 20. This Court granted the request. The Applicant was ordered to undergo medical examination on his mental status and the results were ordered to be filed accordingly in this Court. No medical report was furnished to this Court
