s prisons. In considering minimum standards and requirements the Courts are not calling for the provision of any luxuries, but the need to provide the basic needs, and facilities which are cle
an and hygienic. Compliance with UN Minimum Standards cannot be met by an argument of resources constraints. It has been shown that when required by the law to comply, authorities can meet minimum requirements. Any detention of persons who are presumed to
 
be innocent is in effect a punishment, especially in the conditions pertaining in remand block 1. But where no adequate alternative remedy is available to the Court, given the response of the authorities concerned, the only alternative is to consider bail
 pending trial.

resumption of innocence and the cruel, inhumane and degrading conditions of remand. In response the state filed on 2/8/01 an Affidavit by Aisea Taoka, Commissioner of Prisons, which is in identical terms to the affidavit filed in response to the 1st Appli

ant Jai Ram s/o Suruj Din. Fortunately for the 2nd Applicant, Emosi Bati, legal aid was approved and he was represented by Counsel from the Legal Aid Commission for the hearing of the bail application. The Legal Aid counsel greatly assisted the Court in d

\par The 3rd Applicant Avinesh Vikash Mani f/n Subarmani filed two affidavits - the first on 11 June 2001, and a supplementary affidavit on 27 June 2001. In response the State filed two affidavits - one by Manasa Raka
bikabi, Officer in charge of Natabua Prison and Aisea Taoka, Commissioner of Prisons. Both were filed on 2 August 2001, and are identical to the affidavits filed in response to the first two applicants. The affidavits by the first and third applicants com
plain of identical matters. They are essentially focused on the conditions of their remand, and the delays in the hearing of their cases.
\par 
\par Defense Counsels opposed the late filing of the Affidavits by the State. However, the Court granted leave with the pro
viso that if need be the Applicants could give direct evidence regarding any new matters raised in the affidavits, especially if relevant to their conditions in remand. However, there was a more substantive objection to the admission of the Affidavit of t
he Commissioner of Prisons. This was to do with the non compliance with {\*\bkmkstart O41_r8_HCR_State_v_Ram_Bati_M}Order 41 rule 8 {\*\bkmkend O41_r8_HCR_State_v_Ram_Bati_M}
of the High Court Rules. The affidavit of the Commissioner is sworn before Mr. Kevueli Tunidau, State Counsel i
n the Suva office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. Strictly this offends the spirit of 041 r8 since Mr. Tunidau is an agent or partner of the State Counsel who has conduct of these proceedings in the High Court in Lautoka. From the records Mr. Tuni
dau also had conduct of this file initially. He may well conduct the trial depending on the staffing situation of the DPP}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid10162459 '}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

[1957] AC. 476 (See also Archbold: Criminal Pleading. Evidence and Practice (1999 ed) paras 4-83 & 4-84). In this case we are dealing with interlocutory applications for bail. Serious breaches of fundamental rights have been alleged. Affidavits were fil
ed by the Applicants regarding the conditions in the remand block. The Commissioner of Prisons and the Officer-in-charge also filed affidavits admitting certain matters and contradicting certain allegations. There was no way the Court could understand and
 
assess the evidence contained in the affidavits except through a visit to see the situation first hand. The Court did not enquire into anything outside the ambit of the applications before it. It did not study, for example, the situation of the convicted 
prisoners except to enquire from the Officer-in-charge their general conditions as opposed to those in remand.

\par 
\par The changes in the situation of the 10 detainees in Block 4 is quite dramatic. Block 4 wa
s originally built in 1972 to accommodate persons in remand. Each cell has a proper bed and mattress, a toilet and basin. Proper beddings and blankets were evident. Each cell was properly ventilated with adequate natural light for day time reading. Tube l
i
ghts were installed that would be adequate for night time reading. It was quite clear that even in 1972 the State was conscious of the minimum requirements for keeping detainees awaiting trial in proper conditions. The physical features of each cell meets
 the UN Standard Minimum Rules, discussed fully in the ruling in }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\ai\af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\i\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7018093\charrsid10162459 Sailasa Naba & Others}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

ecured compound adjacent to the main prison complex. It could provide for a separate regime for the treatment of remand prisoners awaiting trial. However, this block 4 was not used for Remand prisoners for a while. We were informed that since a long perio
d, when the number of detainees awaiting trial increased beyond 10, Block 1 within the Prison complex was used as the Remand block. Block 4 was used whenever necessary for certain class of convicted prisoners. It was only after the High Court decision in

 that the authorities converted the facility back to a remand block.
\par 
\par It is quite clear that the problem is not purely a lack of resources but efficient use and prioritisation of the requirements of those presumed innocent and awaiting t
rial against those who are convicted and sentenced. The Court is quite sensitive to the Commissioner of Prisons efforts to get resources to engender a better regime for prisoners. However, what is planned to be done, subject to resource availability, is n
o comfort to those enduring breaches of fundamental rights in detention and awaiting trial. We need to be aware that in relation to the applications before this Court we are dealing with persons who are presumed to be innocent.

air. Their cultural and recreation activities are not restricted. They do not use buckets for the call to nature. In considering minimum standards and requirements the Courts are not calling for the provision of any luxuries - whatever is meant by these i

of judicial resources and the level of poverty in the country. All these have affected everyone in the country. The rights of the state, victims and witnesses need to be balanced in considering the issue of delay. However, no submissions were made by the

 consequences. A delay in trial affects all persons involved: the accused, victims and witnesses. It is perhaps ironic to note that some of those responsible for the state of affairs the state alludes to are charged with crimes as serious as murder but he

valid consideration in the enforcement of social, economic and cultural rights which some consider "second generation rights." These rights, generally emanating from the UN International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural rights, are placed in some
 constitutions under Directive Principles or Compacts. They are deemed to be non-justiciable. However, the rights we are concerned with under Sections 25(1), {\*\bkmkstart Const_28_1_State_v_Ram_Bati_M}28(1) {\*\bkmkend Const_28_1_State_v_Ram_Bati_M}and

at the High Court at Lautoka from 1995 to 2000, can be easily verified by the office of the DPP since it has conduct of all murder charges in the High Court. The other statistics from the USP academic study can also be checked by the DPP who has conduct o
f
 all homicide cases in the High Court. In any event the figures were discussed in the context of the fundamental right to be presumed innocent (s28(l)(a) of the Constitution. What is suggested is that the State and the Courts will need to more closely con

 that the}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7018093\charrsid10162459  }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid7018093\charrsid10162459 
Constitution is the supreme law. The Courts are bound by it as much as the Legislature and the Executive. In relation to the issue of bail for a charge of murder, for example, this Court cannot willy nilly grant bail given the long line of authori
ties restricting bail for murder. The exceptional circumstances in which bail has been granted in Fiji has centred on the issue of delay. Upon being confronted with the further fundamental rights to the presumption of innocence

This Court presided over its third Criminal session for 2001 on 6 August 2001. It is clear from the cases on the list that the rate of disposal of murder cases has reached crisis proportions. Given the case load of the 
High Court at Lautoka (including murder, manslaughter and other serious criminal cases, appeals, interlocutory applications etc) one Criminal Court Judge cannot make any significant impact on the rate of disposal of the criminal back log. The oldest murde
r case (alleged offence committed January 1999) will hopefully be completed in September 2001.

to May 2000 and Counsels involved, including State Counsels, had expressed concerns at the delays in the High Court at Lautoka. Delays were becoming endemic in both civil and criminal cases prior to the appointment of the current two judges. Problems at t
h
e Lautoka High Court were discussed at the Fiji Law Society Annual General Meeting of 1997. I was appointed to be the 3rd Judge at Lautoka. However, since my appointment on 16 June 2000 there has been only 2 Judges manning the High Court at Lautoka. The s
i
tuation was not helped by the closure of the two Courts from 14th March 2001 to 3rd August 2001 by the Occupational Health & Safety Inspectors. The Courts were closed due to the problems with the air-conditioning in the Courts and leakages in the roof. Th
e
se problems were of long standing, known to the authorities for more than 2 years and prior to the current judges assuming office. Nothing was done regarding the physical facilities nor the judicial resources required to efficiently dispose of the cases a
t
 the Lautoka High Court. During his submissions the learned Deputy DPP assured us that an additional judicial appointment is to be made to the High Court at Lautoka soon. However, despite assurances no tangible signs are evident that a third Courtroom is 
b
eing prepared for such an eventuality. If the interim Attorney General and Minister for Justice devoted his energies to providing tangible support in getting resources for the High Court at Lautoka, rather than putting paid advertisements attacking the in
tegrity of the Courts, case disposal could be considerably enhanced. Such paid advertisements do not lend credibility to the State}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid10162459 '}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24
