The Court of Appeal quashed the appellant's convictions recorded in April 2017 following a procedural indication to allow the appeal. The appellant, P. K., argued that the trial judge erred by failing to consider material facts regarding the Director of Public Prosecutions' conduct. The court agreed, determining that the original convictions were unsustainable due to this failure to address relevant evidence.
