The appeal is dismissed.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

The judgment below

Examining the reasoning in light of the record, the court below is just in maintaining the judgment of the court of first instance which acquitted the Defendant on the ground that the facts charged in this case (excluding the part which found the Defendant guilty in the original trial) was not a crime or that there was no proof of a crime. Contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, there were no errors in the misapprehension of the legal principles as to “false facts” under Article 250(2) of the Public Official Election Act or the legal principles as to the grounds for the dismissal of illegality under Article 251 of the same Act.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
