The Supreme Court allowed the appeal regarding the legality of A's detention, overturning the lower court's dismissal. Although A received a new four-year sentence in a separate case after the original conviction, the court found no legal basis to release him. The court ruled that the original conviction remained valid for custody purposes, meaning the new sentence did not negate the conditions for his continued detention.

Käräjäoikeus oli tuominnut A:n 3 vuodeksi 2 kuukaudeksi vankeuteen ja määrännyt tämän

tuomiolla vangittavaksi. Hovioikeus oli hylännyt A:n kantelun vangitsemisesta.

Kysymys siitä, oliko A:n pitämiselle vangittuna tämän asian johdosta edellytyksiä,

kun hänelle toisessa asiassa tuomittu neljän vuoden vankeusrangaistus oli

käräjäoikeuden tuomion antamisen jälkeen tullut täytäntöönpanokelpoiseksi.

Valituslupakortti sisältää kuvauksen siitä kysymyksestä, johon liittyen asiassa on

myönnetty valituslupa. Sen sisältö ei sido korkeinta oikeutta eikä rajoita asian

käsittelyä siltä osin kuin valituslupa on myönnetty.
