The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal lodged by the defendant against the district court's refusal to submit the case file to the court of first instance. The defendant argued that the procedural delay violated their right to a fair trial, while the court noted the lower court had valid reasons for the delay. The court ruled that the procedural defect did not justify overturning the lower court's decision as it did not affect the outcome of the case.
