005059 90. The Court therefore finds that all the admissibility conditions have been met and that this Application is admissible. Vil. MERITS 91.It emerges from the file that the Applicant alleges his rights guaranteed under Articles 2, 3 and 7 of the Charter were violated. In as much as the allegations of violations of Articles 2 and 3 are related to the allegation of the violation of Article 7, the Court will begin its assessment of the latter. A. Alleged violation of Article 7 of the Charter 92. The Applicant makes two allegations which fall under Article 7 of the Charter: namely, the alleged violation of the right to be heard by a competent tribunal and the alleged violation of the right to be tried by an impartial tribunal. i. The right to be heard by a competent tribunal 93. The Applicant alleges that if the Review Bench of the Supreme Court had allowed the case to continue in the High Court as ordered by the Ordinary Bench of the Supreme Court, the facts of the case would have been determined on the merits and the Applicant’s role and claims would have been established. Instead the Review Bench of the Supreme Court assumed jurisdiction thus denying the Applicant the right to be tried by the competent tribunal. Furthermore, the Applicant submits that the said claims filed against him before the Review Bench of the Supreme Court did not involve matters for constitutional interpretation, and thus, did not fall within the jurisdiction of that Bench of the Court.
