    On maximum evaluation the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case for either abetment under s.39(a) read with s.41 or for loss under s.35 Arms Act 1960 because (1) no direct evidence placed the accused at the scene or showed he authorised or participated in SP1 taking/using the pistol; (2) serious and unexplained discrepancies and breaks in the chain of custody and identity of exhibits (numbers of cartridges/casings and recovered items) created reasonable doubt; accordingly the accused was properly discharged and not called to answer.
