The appellant police constable appealed a conviction for discreditable conduct.
The charge sheet alleged assault and threats of assault related to a private debt collection.
However, the conviction was ultimately based on the appellant attending a private home in uniform and driving a police cruiser to advance a private matter, after the assault allegations were not proven.
The Commission allowed the appeal and quashed the conviction, finding that the charge sheet did not provide sufficient particulars to enable the appellant to prepare a defence for the specific conduct relied upon, rendering the process unfair.
