Murder accused Marcus Bisram has approached the High Court to challenge orders from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) instructing that he be committed to stand trial.
He is arguing that the DPP’s decision is “unreasonable, unlawful and malicious,” and wants the Supreme Court to make declarations to this effect.
The matter will be heard next Monday before Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall.
Late last month, Magistrate Renita Singh ruled that she did not find sufficient evidence to commit Bisram to stand trial for the capital offence, but she was subsequently directed by the DPP to reopen the PI and proceed with the committal.
