    R. v. PAN MAN LIN
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP4003/1996

    Because the Crown offered no evidence, the first charge was dismissed for want of prosecution; the passport was established to be genuine and properly issued so the forfeiture order was set aside and the passport ordered returned; the offence concerning incorrect date/place of birth was technical and non‑dishonest and did not merit imprisonment, so the six month sentence was set aside and the appellant was bound over in lieu of imprisonment.
