The High Court held that expert forensic examination was not required to prove the confiscated instrument was a taser because the Act classifies tasers in the Second Schedule and the arresting/investigating officers' testimony that the device produced electrical current and sparks was sufficient; although charging under Section 6 was an error the accused was not prejudiced and the charge was amendable to Section 7 under s.422 CPC; therefore a prima facie case existed and the matter was remitted to Sessions Court for defence to be called.
