RULING

1. On 26th September 2016, the Prosecution closed its case after calling a total of seven (8) Prosecution witnesses.

2. On the same date, both the counsel for the State and counsel for the Accused person asked the court to rely on the evidence that was adduced during trial in deciding the question of whether or not the Accused person had a case to answer as they did not wish to file any Written Submissions.

3. Accordingly, having carefully considered the evidence by the Prosecution witnesses, the court was of the opinion that a prima facie case had been established against the Accused person to warrant him being put on his Defence. He is hereby put on his defence.

4. It is so ordered.
