Ruling

1.The powers of the High Court in revision cases are contained in section 362 through to 366 of the Criminal Procedure Code (cap 75) Laws of Kenya. Section 362 specifically provides as follows: -'362. The High Court may call for and examine the record of any criminal proceedings before any subordinate court for the purpose of satisfying itself as to the correctness, legality or propriety of any finding, sentence or order recorded or passed, and as to the regularity of any proceedings of any such subordinate court'.

2.Applicant was granted a cash bail and the trial court in its ruling dated September 26, 2022 gave reasons for not granting a surety bond.

3.No material has been placed before the court to demonstrate any incorrectness, illegality or impropriety of the proceedings of the subordinate court.

4.I have considered the application seeking review of the bond terms and I find that it has no merit and it is declined.
