The High Court dismissed the prosecution's appeal and affirmed the Sessions Court acquittal because the prosecution failed to prove two essential elements: that the impugned document was one required by or for the purposes of the Companies Act 1965 (s308) and that the respondents made or authorized the false statement (no proof of signatures/authorization); failure to call material witnesses left irreparable gaps, hence no prima facie case.
