Two copies of published Brief "Nos. 03-334 & 03-343 in the Supreme Court of the United States Fawzi Khalid Abdullah Fahad Al Odah, et al., Petitioners, and Shafiq Rasul et al., Petitioners, v United States, et al., Respondents and George W. Bush, et al., Respondents. On Writs of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Brief of the International Commission of Jurists and the American Association for the International Commission of Jurists, Amici Curiae, Supporting Petitioners".

Rasul v Bush was a landmark decision of the United States (US) Supreme Court in which the Court held that foreign nationals held in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp could petition federal courts for writs of habeas corpus to review the legality of their detention. The Court's 6–3 judgment on June 28, 2004, reversed a D.C. Circuit decision which had held that the judiciary has no jurisdiction to hear any petitions from foreign nationals held in Guantanamo Bay. The lead petitioner, British citizen Shafiq Rasul, was one of the Tipton Three. The US transported the three men to the United Kingdom in March 2004 before the decision was handed down, and the government released them the next day.

The bar on Freyer's promotion continued throughout the early years of the 1890s however Freyer had the support of both the doctors, who served as Inspector General of Civil Hospitals for the NWP and Oudh, between 1888 and 1893, namely Dr W R Rice and Dr J Richardson. This is apparent from a private letter written to Freyer by Dr Rice on 21 March [1890, see P57/78], in which he writes of the lakh as 'no more than a fair honorarium' and Dr Richardson wrote in January 1893 of Freyer's lack of promotion as 'a glaring scandal' [see P57/88]. By 1893 Sir C H Crosthwaite had succeeded Sir A Colvin as Lieutenant Governor of the NWP and Oudh. Freyer was due to go on leave in 1893 and was asked to represent India at the International Medical and Surgical Congress in Rome. Before he left on leave he wanted to have further fees due to him by the State of Rampur agreed to by the Council of that State and by the Government. This generated another series of correspondence about Freyer's fee and promotion. By the time Freyer left India in April 1893 he had been informed that he would receive a first class civil surgeoncy in due course and that his fee was still being considered. Freyer reckoned he was owed 45,450 rupees but the Government only allowed the payment of 8,800 rupees out of the 20,000 rupees sanctioned by the Council of Rampur. In November 1893 Freyer requested a 6 month extension to his leave as the International Congress at Rome had been postponed until the following April and he had been unwell. Freyer may have taken legal advice at this time as a number of letters, including 3 to the Inspector General of Civil Hospitals, all dated 17 Nov, are written from Messrs Grindlay and Co, 55 Parliament St, London. Dr J G Pilcher who became Inspector General of Civil Hospitals for the NWP and Oudh in the autumn of 1893, granted Freyer his leave extension but refused to support his promotion to the first class civil surgeoncy at Lucknow.
