Key legal question
Whether the conviction for insult under Art. 177(1) SCC violated federal law or the presumption of innocence.
Extracted holding
The conviction was upheld; the challenged fact-finding was not arbitrary and the insult conviction stood.
Extracted reasoning
The complaint was largely inadmissible or merely appellatory. The appellant did not show that the lower court's assessment of the evidence or interpretation of the gesture was untenable.
