CRIMINAL APPEAL NO
The trial court lacked jurisdiction due to invalid DPP consent and certificate, rendering the proceedings and judgments of both lower courts a nullity. The appellant was also convicted for non-existent offences under the National Parks Act, and the prosecution failed to establish proper disposal and chain of custody for the government trophy.
