The record of proceedings of the trial was forwarded to Defense Headquarters on 27 June 2023, and subsequently transmitted to Naval Headquarters on 8 August 2023. The application was granted and the ex-rating changed his plea to guilty, thereby necessitating rearrangement. Despite the change of plea to guilty, the prosecution led evidence by highlighting the various elements of each of the charges to be proved beyond reasonable doubt to secure conviction against the ex-rating.
