A discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) is not a final decision and therefore not appealable; the High Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the appeal and properly dismissed it; the Sessions Court correctly granted DNAA when the prosecution elected to discontinue and the court may not substitute an acquittal unless the prosecution so directs.
