Key legal question
Whether the appellant was entitled to legal aid under Art. 29(3) BV despite incomplete disclosure of his financial situation.
Extracted holding
No. The court held that the appellant failed to satisfy his duty to cooperate in clarifying his assets and income, so indigence could be denied.
Extracted reasoning
A legal-aid applicant must fully disclose and substantiate income and assets; if he withholds necessary information or documents, the authority may reject the request without violating constitutional rights.
