The High Court dismissed the prosecution's appeal and upheld the Sessions Court acquittal because, although acquisition/maintenance of labour and elements of exploitation were established, the prosecution failed to prove the essential element of coercion under s.2 ATIPSOM beyond reasonable doubt; appellate interference with trial factual findings was unwarranted.
