On 12th April 1996 and 12th September 1996, he was arraigned on 12 counts ofmutiny, a capital charge. He alleges that despite certain authorities' observations that the charges werefalse, he was not acquitted and the charges are still pending in a faulty trial process. The "rule of laws [sic]and court procedures' should have been "followed and exhausted" by officials before "a Judge takes farreaching decisions on any matter".
