The High Court allowed the prosecution's appeal, finding the Sessions Judge erred in directing an acquittal and discharge because the prosecution had demonstrated good grounds and a clear intention to continue prosecution after further targeted investigations (Lazada and telecommunication records), and delays were attributable to COVID restrictions and judicial changes rather than solely to the prosecution; accordingly the A&D was set aside and substituted with DNAA under section 254.
