Supreme Court cannot hear appeals from Small Claims Court cases because the law says High Court decisions are final. The court held that Article 163(3)(b)(ii) requires national legislation to prescribe its appellate jurisdiction — and the Small Claims Court Act does not.

Application for certification of appeal dismissed — leave refused on general public importance; no point of law of general public importance disclosed.

A court's jurisdiction flows from the Constitution or statute; without it, a court must down its tools.

Courts cannot revisit past sentences, but must credit time already served in remand.

Petition struck out — certification of general public importance not established; the Court's jurisdiction was not properly engaged.
