From JUST justice Atuguba "“Constitutionality of the criminal summons The applicant also complains about the majority‟s holding that the criminal summons served on the respondent was unconstitutional. Now it is true that the criminal summons was inadvertently issued in the name of the President, but what harm or threatened harm did that error cause the plaintiff? Did he as a result of that error go to the castle to answer the call of the President, or when he came to the court, did he find the President of the nation presiding? The plaintiff came to court because he knew it was the court that summoned him, and that whoever issued the criminal summons, obviously made a mistake. The plaintiff suffered absolutely no harm by the error, neither has he demonstrated any. That error was one obviously amendable without prejudice to the rights of the plaintiff-respondent. And the majority‟s declaration on this error was nothing but an exercise in futility.” (e.s) " * I ask how can a mistake of a presiding officer carrying out the summons of Voters cause harm and prejudice the right to uphold the votes of voters ?* #Lets watch it
