The High Court allowed the accuseds' appeals and set aside convictions and sentences because the prosecution failed to prove the charges as framed: the evidence showed the honours were conferred by PKDRK (a society) not by the State of Kelantan as alleged in the charges, several victims acknowledged the titles were PKDRK titles or that they dealt with intermediaries, and the trial judge failed to properly consider victims' evidence negating deception and culpability; accordingly prosecution did not prove dishonesty/common intention required under s420 Penal Code.
