The High Court allowed the appeal and set aside the Sessions Court conviction because the prosecution failed to make out a prima facie case at the close of its case: material contradictions in the key child witness and other prosecution witness undermined credibility, and the prosecution's failure to produce a material exhibit (the sarong) required consideration under section 114(g) Evidence Act; on a maximum evaluation the defence had raised reasonable doubt and the accused should have been acquitted without being called to enter his defence.
