Summary The court acquitted all 13 accused individuals of gambling charges under the Gambling Act, finding insufficient evidence and procedural defects in the prosecution's case. The court determined that the prosecution failed to establish a sound legal foundation for conviction, noting absence of independent witness testimonies, reliance solely on police statements, and gaps in documentary evidence regarding ownership of the venue. The court held that without credible corroborating evidence, the charges could not be sustained and ordered the release of seized property.
