The appeal was allowed and convictions quashed because the prosecution did not prove beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant knew or believed the documents to be false and had the requisite double intention; there were real doubts about whether wages had been unpaid when P1 was submitted and whether payments to the appellant depended on the verification forms, and the magistrate erred by conflating evidence for both charges and over‑relying on P2 conduct.
