The conviction was quashed because it materially depended on a police sketch that had not been admitted by any admissible route (no formal section 65(c) admission and the officer-maker was not called), depriving the appellant of the opportunity to cross-examine and rendering the conviction unsafe; a retrial was declined as disproportionate and unnecessary in the circumstances and with the respondent's agreement.
