Application to nullify allegedly torture‑obtained statements dismissed because the DPP was wrongly sued; merits not determined.
* Constitutional and human rights enforcement – jurisdiction of the High Court under the Human Rights (Enforcement) Act to entertain non-derogable rights claims.
* Civil procedure – proper party to sue – inability to sue the DPP in his own capacity; actions against government to be instituted against the Attorney General.
* Evidence – allegations of torture and voluntariness of statements require detailed proof; interlocutory nullification not appropriate where party‑joinder defect is fatal.
* Remedies – expungement/nullification of statements in context of criminal proceedings and proper procedural route.
