The High Court upheld the Sessions Court's acquittal under section 420 because the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case on a maximus assessment of the evidence: material inconsistencies, lack of proof that the RM27m loan and RM1.5m insurance requirement existed at the relevant dates, and the prosecution's failure to call available corroborative witnesses rendered the case unsustainable.
