Judgment text as reported

IBRAR ULLAH VS State S. 9(c)---Possession of 3500 grams of cannibas---Reappraisal of evidence---Admittedly, the accused was a resident of city 'P'; he had apparently no business to be present in city 'R', wherefrom he was unanticipatedly apprehended by a police picket---Similarly, it was difficult to contemplate his substitution to swap the real offender as the volume of cache being substantial could not be conceivably planted in the absence of a strong motive that did not appear in the present case---Official witnesses were found in a comfortable unison on all the relevant details relating to the arrest, search and recovery---Presence of a police picket at the spot had not been disputed by the defence itself---Forensic report contained relevant details of the procedure followed by the analyst to confirm the narcotic character of the contraband---Conviction and sentence recorded against the accused by courts below were well within the remit of law---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed and leave was refused. Citation Name: 2021 SCMR 128 SUPREME-COURTBookmark this Case IBRAR ULLAH VS State Ss. 9 & 25---Possession of narcotic---Public witnesses---Official witnesses---Absence of a witness from the public to support the prosecution case despite availability, was symptomatic of public apathy towards civic responsibilities---Such absence did not by itself shadow upon the credibility of official witnesses, who were second to none in status.
