Ballu Khan appears in Court
Khan was arrested at about 1 o'clock this morning by the Police Strike Back team after he went to the Nausori Airport yesterday afternoon to pick some people up.
And while, Khan's Lawyer, Queens Counsel Peter Williams maintains that Khan's arrest is illegal as he has not breached his bail conditions, the Director Of Public Prosecutions Office said this is not correct.
The Office of the DPP said their reading of the bail conditions indicate that Khan can leave his place of residence at Muanikau, without the leave of the court for two purposes only, to report to the police station in adherence to his bail requirement or for medical attention at the hospital.
The DPP's Office said any attempts to give these written conditions more generous reading than what it states cannot be accepted. It stresses that if Khan desires, an application has to be made to the court to vary any conditions as the DPP has no lawful powers to do so.
