[2] The three accused persons were convicted in the magistrate’s court, sitting at Keetmanshoop, of the crime of housebreaking with intent to steal and theft and each one was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment wholly suspended for five years on condition that the accused is not convicted of the crime of housebreaking with intent to steal and theft committed during the period of suspension. [3] The matter was set down for hearing on 29 June 2009. [4] In S v Mujiwa 2007 (1) NR 34 Muller J who analysed the procedure in terms of section 310(1) held _inter alia_ that a written notice of an application in terms of section 310(1) must be served on an accused person and that the application for leave to appeal is heard by a judge in chambers and does not require a hearing. [5] The Prosecutor-General appealed against the sentence imposed by the magistrate. In terms of section 310(1) the accused may within a period of 10 days of the serving of the notice upon him lodge a written submission with the registrar who in turn shall submit such notice to the judge who is to hear the application. [6] I have perused the documents filed but I was unable to find any notice served on any one of the accused persons. [7] In the circumstances the application is not properly before me and stands to be struck off the roll. [8] In the result the following order is made: The application is accordingly struck from the roll. _________ **HOFF, J** #### __Related documents ▲ To the top >
