The High Court allowed the appeals and set aside the Sessions Court convictions because the prosecution evidence showed monies were paid to a third party (Ganang Resources) rendering the s.420 charges defective and because, on maximum evaluation of contemporaneous documentary and bank evidence (including police reports and civil pleadings), the inference that the transactions were friendly loans and that repayments had been made gave rise to a reasonable doubt; accordingly convictions under sections 420 and 471 could not be safely sustained and the appellant was acquitted and discharged.
