The court had to settle point in laws which were in dispute in this case. On a charge of unlawfully hunting in a Game Reserve it was contended by the Defence that Statutory Instrument No. 83 of 1970, which established the Reserve, was null and void because it had been signed by the Permanent Secretary to the President and not by the President himself. The court had to determine the Validity of Statutory Instrument issued under the hand of the Permanent Secretary to the President and not under the hand of the President himself. The Accused was found guilty of hunting in a game reserve without a licence or permit contrary to Section 7(1) of the Fauna Conservation Proclamation, 1961.
