Description:
"...in finally acquitting the two defendants Ye Naung and Myint
Oo (a.k.a.) Mya Oo of all charges the Supreme Court found that, ?There is
not any evidence against defendants Ye Naung and Myint Oo apart from
their statement before Defence Services Intelligence. While it is correct
that Defence Services Intelligence unit personnel are persons authorized to
uncover and arrest criminal offenders and confessions made before them
are admissible as evidence in Military Courts under Defence Services Rule
22(2)(3)(4), it is apparent that they are not admissible as evidence in

civilian courts under the Evidence Act, section 24?; thus the defendants
finally acquitted on the basis of the finding on the Evidence Act, section
24, the Office of the Attorney General moved that in its understanding the
finding does not correspond with the law for the Chief Justice with the
Full Bench of the Supreme Court to undertake to re-examine the said
finding in accordance with the Procedures for the Hearing of Special
Appeals, paragraph 17, giving rise to this Special Appeal..."
