Given prosecution's inability to produce the key raids officer despite ample time and repeated delays, the prolonged detention and uncertainty (accused detained nearly four years) amounted to unfair prejudice; the court therefore exercised its discretionary power under s.254(3) CPC to discharge and acquit the accused (DAA) rather than leave a DNAA that would permit uncertain future prosecution.
