Accused was charged with being in possession of a credit card forging machine which was adapted for illegal use. Accused was granted an appeal by onca based on the fact that the word.

Where the words of one version may raise an ambiguity, courts should first look to the other official language version to determine whether its meaning is plain and unequivocal: a, c.
