The Court of Appeal will soon rule on the state’s appeal against Pertab Hanoman Singh, who was cleared of a rape charge in 2005 after a High Court Judge upheld a no-case submission in his favour.
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has contended that although there was sufficient evidence on which a reasonable jury, properly directed, “might have” convicted the accused, Justice William Ramlal ruled that there was no case for Singh to answer.
That ruling was made on July 7, 2005.
