ISLAM SHAH VS State S. 9(c)---Possession of narcotics---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Prosecution case was that 72 packets of hashish weighing 80 kilograms were recovered from the secret cavities of the vehicle of the accused persons---Prosecution case was that from each slab, 10 grams were separated for samples and 72 packets were prepared---As per evidence of the Investigation Officer he sent sealed parcels to the Chemical Examiner---However, on perusal of the report issued by Chemical Examiner, gross weight of parcels 1 to 73 containing 15 grams each totalled 1080 grams---However, again it was mentioned in the said report with respect to net weight of 1 to 72 samples which contained 10 grams each and the total weight was 720 grams which also created very serious doubt in respect of the samples as to whether 73 or 72 samples were received by the Chemical Examiner---Even the weight was not matched with the total weight and gross weight of both 72 and 73 samples---Appeal against conviction was allowed accordingly.
