At the discharge stage, a strong suspicion based on material capable of being translated into evidence is sufficient, and the court should not conduct a detailed evaluation aimed at conviction. However, prosecution witnesses lacked personal knowledge, merely proved departmental materials, or did not specify the alleged method of excise-duty evasion; the underlying records were not produced, making record-derived evidence inadmissible.
