AJAB KHAN VS State S. 9(c)---Possession and transportation of 19 kilograms of charas---Reappraisal of evidence---Accused was caught red handed by the police and 19 packets of charas garda, each packet weighing 1000 grams (total 19 kilogram), was recovered from beneath the rear seat of the car, which was being driven by the accused---From each packet, 4 grams of charas was separated in 19 separate parcels for the purpose of chemical examination and the remaining was sealed into a separate parcel---Prosecution's case hinged upon the statements of two police officials, who narrated the prosecution story in a natural manner and remained consistent throughout and their testimony could not be shattered by the defence despite lengthy cross-examination---Said witnesses had no enmity with the accused to falsely implicate him in the present case as a huge quantity of charas could not be foisted upon the accused to fabricate a fake case---Police officials separated the samples from each packet in the prescribed manner and sent the same to the office of Forensic Science Laboratory---Report of the Forensic Science Laboratory showed that all the 19 samples were subjected to chemical and instrumental analysis and the same were found to be narcotic substance---Nothing on record suggested that the safe chain of custody of the samples was compromised---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed, leave was refused and conviction and sentence recorded against the accused was maintained.
