The convictions were quashed because the applicant had pleaded guilty under a genuine misapprehension as to the true position and should not be bound by those pleas; although the information on its face disclosed an offence, the invalid plea warranted quashing and remitting the informations for fresh hearing; certiorari was granted despite being a last resort because the applicant showed a genuine case.
