    The court acquitted the defendants of charges under the Seeds Rules 1968 and Seeds Act 1966, finding that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case due to insufficient evidence and lack of proper technical substantiation for the genetic purity test results showing 35% instead of 95%. The court held that the prosecution's case relied solely on oral statements without adequate documentary or technical corroboration, and that the sample handling procedures and witness credibility were inadequately established.
