Juma s/o Masudi v. R., Crim. App. 750-D-67, 22/11/67, Duff J.
Accused, posing as a police officer, induced complainant to place Shs. 360/- in his custody by saying that it was the subject of a police investigation. Accused then disappeared. He was subsequently convicted, inter alia, of obtaining money by false pretences. [P. C. s. 302].
Held: “It is clear that the complainant had no intention of parting with his money (permanently) ….(Q)uite clearly these facts support a charge of theft and not of obtaining by false pretences.” Conviction under P.C. s. 265 substituted.
