    The court found prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that both accused deliberately represented state land as their own, induced the complainant to deliver money, and had dishonest intent from the outset; the defence explanations were implausible and failed to raise reasonable doubt, therefore both accused are guilty under s.420 Penal Code and liable to custodial sentences and fines.
