Material inconsistencies and gaps in prosecution evidence (contradictory accounts of where and when arrest occurred, who requested identity documents, and failure to call a key eyewitness) undermined the prima facie case; the accused's consistent sworn evidence raised reasonable doubt on elements of both offences, therefore prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt and accused must be acquitted.
