2. The memo of appeal has been filed by one Sri Tai Tok, the son of Smt. Maniya Taku. The said Maniya Taku is the accused and sentenced by the learned trial Court. However, it is noticed that the name of Sri Tai Tok is entered in the cause title as appellant. However, as the defacto-appellant is Smt. Maniya Taku, the word “appellant” used in this judgment would mean and denote the “accused”, i.e. Smt. Maniya Taku.
