appellant for three offences. One, certifying and subsequently circulating
1
documents with information designed to be prejudicial and harmful to the
complainant contrary to section 96 of the Penal Code. Two, inciting
commission of an offence contrary to section 390 of the Penal Code and
three, being parties to section 22(b) and (c) of the Penal Code for
malicious destruction of property contrary to section 326 of the Penal
Code. The trial court dismissed all the charges for lack of evidence to
prove the offences and for failure by the appellant to obtain consent from
the Director of Public Prosecutionsfor the prosecution of the respondents.

successfulfor the same reasons as were given by the trial court. |
