The conviction was quashed because a subsequently obtained medical report, not produced at trial but shown to be authentic, contained materially different injury findings that could have affected the magistrate's credibility assessment; therefore the verdict could not stand. However, a retrial was refused because the offence was minor and public interest did not justify expending resources on a new trial.
