The Court of Appeal held that armed robbery was not proved because theft was not established, quashed that conviction, and substituted assault causing actual bodily harm.
The charge sheet was fatally defective for failing to specify the person against whom violence was directed, an essential ingredient of armed robbery. Additionally, there was no evidence of theft, another essential element. These defects rendered the trial unfair and incurable, necessitating the quashing of proceedings and conviction without an order for retrial.
