AI Generated Summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the Attorney-General's application for certiorari to quash the High Court's proceedings. The court held that certiorari is a discretionary remedy and that the Attorney-General had other remedies available, which he failed to pursue. The Attorney-General's conduct showed acquiescence to the High Court's jurisdiction, and therefore, certiorari was not granted.
