Supreme Court Judge Justice Suresh Chandra has dismissed former Commissioner Central Inoke Devo’s application for the court to grant him leave to appeal against his sentence and conviction.
Justice Chandra said there was no basis to grant the leave.
His appeal against conviction and sentence was dismissed by the Fiji Court of Appeal earlier this year.
Devo was charged with five counts of official corruption and four counts of abuse of office.
He was convicted on three counts of abuse of office and was sentenced on 9th April 2010, for 9 months.
Suresh Chandra says that he sees no error in the judgement of the Court of Appeal.
He says the grounds adduced by Devo seeking leaving to appeal have no merit and do not meet the required threshold for granting leave.
