Prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case under Section 506 because the complainant's credibility was materially undermined by contradictions and vested interest, the prosecution did not produce the first police report and failed to call other eyewitnesses whose absence warranted adverse inferences under s114(g), and the investigation was defective; accordingly the accused was discharged and acquitted without being called to defend.
