Criminal appeal dismissed; court quashed first-instance verdict due to violation of statutory prohibition on conviction based on inadmissible evidence.

The Court of Appeal quashed the first-instance verdict and remanded the case for retrial because the lower court convicted the defendant based on evidence that was legally inadmissible. The prosecution argued for a conviction, but the appellate court found that the evidence used to establish guilt violated the statutory ban on convictions derived from such evidence. Consequently, the court held that the only permissible remedy was to overturn the judgment and return the matter to the first-instance court for a new trial.
