The Court held that the bank official's testimony about BNI/UBS practices and familiarity with signatures was admissible and sufficiently probative; omissions such as not calling original signatories or producing specimen documents went to weight not admissibility; adverse inferences from the applicant's failure to testify were properly drawn on facts peculiarly within his knowledge; acquittal on an offence requiring proof of intention to use was consistent with conviction for mere possession; consequently convictions and sentence were upheld.
