Was the length of the applicant ' s pre-trial detention , to the extent that the applicant complained of it to the Constitutional Court, in breach of the “reasonable time” requirement of Article 5 § 3 of the Convention?

In particular, were the reasons for which the Nitra District Court and the Nitra Regional Court, in proceedings leading to the latter ' s decision of 3 March 2011, considered the applicant ' s continued detention necessary relevant and sufficient?
