Prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case under s.354 because the complainant's evidence was not unusually convincing, there was no independent corroborative evidence connecting the accused to the offence, the complainant's conduct and long delay in reporting undermined credibility, and the court would not be prepared to convict if the accused remained silent; therefore the accused must be acquitted at the close of the prosecution's case under s.173(f) CPC.
