Dhanhoa v The Queen

Dhanhoa was the applicant in proceedings before Gleeson CJ in chambers, seeking leave to appeal against a decision of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The underlying dispute concerned the applicant's conviction for an offence.

The primary legal issue before Gleeson CJ was whether the applicant had established an arguable case for leave to appeal against his conviction. This involved considering whether there were any substantial points of law or fact that warranted further examination by the appellate court.

Gleeson CJ determined that the applicant had not demonstrated an arguable case for leave to appeal. The Chief Justice found that the grounds of appeal raised by the applicant were without merit and did not disclose any substantial error in the original proceedings or the decision of the Supreme Court. Consequently, leave to appeal was refused.
