Kumar v Director of Public Prosecution [2025] FJHC 329; HBM085.2025 (6 June 2025)

IN THE HIGH COURT OF FIJI
AT SUVA
[CIVIL JURISDICTION]

CIVIL MISC NO. HBM 085 OF 2025

RICHARD KASHMIR KUMAR

V

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTION
DIRCTOR FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF FIJI

Date of Decision: 6 June 2025

DECISION
(Summary Dismissal)

[1] The Petitioner, Richard Kashmir Kumar, is a serving prisoner. He has filed an Application for Constitutional Redress using Form HCCR 1.

[2] The Petitioner’s application for constitutional redress is vague and lacks details. His claim for relief in the Form reads:

4. State what remedy you seek from the Court? Give details of what you ask, the nature of the claim for:

(a) a declaration I am seeking a resentencing by the Government of the Day.

[3] The Petitioner has not presented any genuine claim for constitutional redress. His application is frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of the court process.

[4] The application is summarily dismissed pursuant to the inherent jurisdiction of this Court (see, Tokoniyaroi v Commissioner of Police [2023] FJSC 24; CBV0017.2019 (30 June 2023)).

[5] An application for constitutional redress made in person by the Petitioner in the future is not to be accepted without the sanction of a judge of the High Court.

Hon. Mr Justice Daniel Goundar
