SEREMBAN: A father and son walked free from the High Court after the prosecution decided to withdraw an appeal to challenge the decision of a lower court, which had acquitted and discharged the duo for allegedly possessing duty-free beer.

Judge Datuk Rohani Ismail dismissed the case after deputy public prosecutor Mohd Erei Yuskha Mohd Yusof said the prosecution decided not to appeal following a representation filed by P. Aplanayara, 67, and his businessman son A. Kartik, 37.
