THE National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has petitioned the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) to hear its application for leave to appeal the Free State High Court's ruling which found that the extradition of Moroadi Cholota was not done lawfully and was not valid.

- SINENHLANHLA MASILELA

The NPA's decision to approach the SCA comes after the Free State High Court, Bloemfontein turned down the State's application for leave to appeal the earlier ruling.

The petition, filed on Monday, comes after Judge Philip Loubser dismissed the NPA's request for the judge to reserve questions of law under Section 319 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
