A lawyer representing a farmer accused of robbing the Alison Supermarket at Laucala Beach Estate outside Suva last year has been given time to file a supplementary affidavit.
High Court judge Justice Thushara Rajasinghe granted defence lawyer Shivani Narayan from the Legal Aid Commission 14 days to do so.
Ms Narayan’s client, Leone Lesumailepanoni, filed his bail application after withdrawing his last bail application before the same Court.
The state is alleging that Mr Lesumailepanoni, and two others stole a taxi after tying up the driver and dumping him in the boot of the vehicle, and while brandishing cane knives, threatened attendants and shoppers at the Laucala Beach supermarket on December 2 last year.
He is also accused of robbing a customer of about $24,000 in cash and another of $100 before robbing the supermarket of $1650.35.
Appearing for the state is lawyer Simone Seruvatu from the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The hearing on Mr Lesumailepanoni’s bail application will proceed on July 1.
