The appeal was struck out because the prolonged failure to produce the grounds of judgment and complete the record—well beyond the prescribed period—caused prejudice to the acquitted respondent and prevented timely adjudication; striking out is the appropriate remedy while preserving the prosecutor's ability to reapply on merits.

No mandatory procedural requirement in POCA was breached: the inquiry was completed within the magistrate's remand period, the delay was reasonably explained, the inquiry complied with rules of natural justice and the POCA Board properly considered the inquiry and investigation reports; therefore the detention order under s.19A(1) POCA was lawful and the writ of habeas corpus was dismissed.
