The High Court upheld the conviction because the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt the elements of attempted cheating: the appellant submitted medical and claim documents that induced the insurer to process a claim despite material inconsistencies in CT scan evidence and related conduct indicating dishonest intention; the defence was a bare and inconsistent denial that failed to raise reasonable doubt; the magistrate's assessment of evidence and sentence was not perverse or manifestly wrong.
