CRIMINAL APPEAL NO
The appeal was dismissed because the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant committed the unnatural offence against a child under 18, based on credible and corroborated evidence from the victim, medical testimony, and the appellant’s own confession. Procedural lapses regarding the recording of the child’s evidence did not affect its credibility or admissibility, and the appellant’s defence was considered and properly rejected.
