Catchwords

Locus standi – notwithstanding the absence of an aggrieved person, the Court has the power pursuant to Order 15 rule 17 Rules of Court 2012 to give conduct of any action, inquiry and other proceedings to such person as it thinks fit. Locus standi - it would be a grave travesty of justice if the person who is allegedly responsible for the disappearance of the victim can be heard to assert that the victim has no locus standi and should be denied access to even cross over the threshold of the Courts of Law to seek justice. Confidentiality privilege - it is concomitant with a fair trial with parties Constitutionally entitled to equal protection of the law, that the truth should serve to level the battleground, more so, when an individual takes on the might of the State and, in the process the shield of privilege, if any, should give way to the test of relevancy
