Where material facts are suppressed, allegations are contradictory or unverified, and the claimed detention is negatived by the record, the proceedings amount to abuse of process and may justify dismissal with exemplary costs. Matters allocated by roster remain under the Chief Justice's administrative control, so transfer or summary disposal by a Division Bench without proper authorisation or fair hearing is inconsistent with judicial propriety.
