    HCMA11/2025

    The trial judge correctly assessed credibility, properly weighed the evidence including the appellant's caution statement and the video evidence, rejected the defence account as inherently implausible, found the prosecution witnesses credible and consistent on the essential facts (pushes then a slap), concluded there was deliberate unlawful application of force not justified by self‑defence, and that the prosecution proved the offence beyond reasonable doubt; therefore the conviction stands and the appeal is dismissed.
