AF was charged with ‘Larceny’, contrary to section 117 Crimes Act 1900. She entered a plea of ‘not guilty’ to the offence and her matter was set down for Hearing.
At the day of Hearing, no prosecution witness turned up including the office-in-charge. The Prosecutor sought an adjournment application. James Castillo opposed the application. The Presiding Magistrate refused the adjournment application and consequently, the charge was withdrawn and dismissed.
