AI generated

The court dismissed the detention order against the applicant, finding the measure disproportionate given the circumstances. The applicant argued that the risk of absconding was minimal and that less restrictive measures were available, while the prosecution contended the need to ensure appearance at trial. The court ruled that the detention failed the proportionality test and was therefore unlawful.
