The applicant, a former student of Bindura University of Science Education, sought direct access to the Constitutional Court alleging violation of multiple constitutional rights including dignity, freedom from torture, equality, administrative justice, fair hearing and right to education. He claimed the university issued him a stamped photocopy instead of an original academic transcript and subjected him to harassment and discrimination due to his religious beliefs.
