IN THE HIGH COURT OF FIJI
AT LAUTOKA
REVISIONAL JURISDICTION

Judicial Review Application No. 14 of 2017

NOA MAYA

v

STATE

Date of Ruling: 28 June 2017

RULING

[1] By homemade application and unsworn Affidavit, the applicant applies for leave to judicially review what he regards as an incorrect assessment made by the Corrections Services of the length of his sentence.

[2] Judicial review is not an appropriate vehicle to examine the internal private administrative decisions of the Corrections Service and for that reason leave is refused.

[3] It may assist the Applicant however to remind him that he was sentenced to a term of 11 years 3 months by this Court on the 12^th May 2011 and his subsequent concurrent sentence of 9 years 1 month although being served concurrently, did not start until 10 June 2014.

[4] He will have already served his 11 year 3 month sentence before the second sentence is completed. His latest possible date of discharge is 9^th July 2023
