The High Court upheld the Sessions Court's conviction and sentence because the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused, a public officer, solicited RM2,000 and accepted RM1,000 to switch a drug exhibit; the amendment of the charge under s.158 CPC was lawful and non-prejudicial; the s.50(1) presumption applied and was not rebutted on the balance of probabilities; and the sentence imposed was appropriate and not manifestly excessive.
