Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a former police constable, sought condonation for late filing of an appeal against his dismissal from the police service. He had been convicted of domestic violence in 2015, subjected to disciplinary proceedings, and discharged in February 2016. The court dismissed the condonation application on jurisdictional grounds, finding no statutory basis for appeals against the Commissioner General's decisions.
