AKHTAR ZARIN VS State S.9(c)---Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898), S. 342---Possession of narcotics---Appreciation of evidence---Defence plea---Scope---Prosecution case was that on spy information, police party signalled the car of accused to stop, which led the culprits in the car to firing which hit the informer, police returned fire in self-defence, due to which, tyres of the car burst and stopped and accused was arrested---Arms, ammunition and 80 kilograms charas were recovered from secret cavities of the car, made in different parts of the car and inside the mudguards made with aluminium---Record showed that the arrest and recovery was made on the spot and the accused was caught red handed with the narcotics by the police---Accused had also admitted his presence at the spot---Accused had claimed that the police had falsely implicated him since his wife had filed a case against the Investigating Officer---Said defence plea was not believable for the reason that if the Investigating Officer wanted to fix the accused, they would have fixed his wife instead as she was the one who filed the complaint and not the accused---Wife of accused did not come as a defence witness to support that position nor did he exhibit any document showing that the wife of accused had made any complaint against the Investigating Officer---Circumstances established that prosecution had proved its case against the accused---Appeal against conviction was dismissed, in circumstances.
