The appellant aggrieved by the decision of the District Court of Monduli in Economic Crime Case No. 8 of 2009 lodged an appeal before the High Court.

The case originated from Monduli District Court Criminal Case No. 8 of 2009.

The High Court allowed the appeal and quashed the decision of the trial court and set aside the sentence imposed against both appellants.

The court orders both appellants to be released from prison. No re-trial has been ordered because the appellants had been detained for 21 months.
