Former Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and former Police Commissioner, Sitiveni Qiliho's constitutional matter in the Police officers sacking case, has been remitted to the Magistrates Court by High Court Judge, Justice Daniel Goundar.
The case has adjourned to the 2nd of June 2025.
Justice Goundar say the Magistrates Court had no jurisdiction to transfer this case to the High Court solely for the purpose of seeking a legal opinion on an element of the charged offences.
Bainimarama and Qiliho allegedly made unwarranted demands to the then Acting Police Commissioner Rusiate Tudravu, to terminate the employment of two police officers from the Fiji Police Force.
Bainimarama is charged with one count of unwarranted demand made by a public official, while Qiliho is charged with two counts of abuse of office.
