Denial of control by the accused does not ipso facto prevent rebuttal of the presumption under s.10(1)(b); the correct exercise is to compare total assets at the charge date with total official emoluments and then assess whether independent income or capital plausibly explains any disproportion — here independent income from dormitories, orchard profit and compensation was sufficient to explain the disparity, requiring acquittal.
