The court held the prosecution had proven a prima facie case: P5A and P7A were firearms able to discharge a shot and appellant sold them without a licence; SP3's unchallenged evidence established the sale and the chain of custody from SP3 to police was continuous; omissions in calling ancillary witnesses or producing certain documents did not vitiate the prosecution's case. Conviction and life imprisonment were therefore affirmed.
