The magistrate was entitled to accept the prosecution witnesses as credible after observing them and, based on accepted primary facts (no inspector chop or signature on Exhibit P1 when handed to appellant, presence of chop/signature when presented to PW5, PW3 did not present or see the form again, PW4 denied signing), the only non‑speculative inference is that the appellant affixed the chop and signature and presented the form; convictions affirmed. On sentence, given extraordinary delay not attributable to appellant, concurrent six‑month sentences suspended for two years were appropriate.
