This case involved the validity of evidence that an individual had forged banking documents.
Background
An appellant said in his grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling by which he was convicted of fabricating banking documents had erred in the application of law and had insufficient evidence of causation. He said that he maintained before the court that the arrest proceedings were invalid but the court dismissed this defence. He also said that the court had established its ruling on the grounds of the testimonies of the witnesses though they included many contradictions.
