MURDER accused, suspected gang leader and state of emergency detainee Rajaee Ali returned to court on Wednesday with his amended constitutional and judicial review claims against the state, the commissioner of prisons and Minister of Homeland Security over the legality of his transfer to an army base in Chaguaramas in July.

At a hearing on September 17, Justice Marissa Robertson gave directions for the filing of submissions before January 22, 2026, when she will hear oral arguments and set a date for her decision.

Robertson has agreed to a rolled-up hearing where both leave and substantive issues would be considered together by the judge.
