Amendment ordered by Court of Appeal was not read to accused when called to plead, causing real prejudice to his right to know the charge and to mount a proper defence; prosecution failed to prove essential elements (mens rea and use of glass as weapon) beyond reasonable doubt; omission was not a curable technical error under s422 KTJ — conviction unsafe and must be set aside.
