Syed ABDUL MANAN VS State S. 9(c)--- Possession of narcotics---Appreciation of evidence---Accused persons were arrested at the spot and a huge quantity of contraband weighing 920 Kilograms (Charas and Opium), packed in 920 packets, was recovered from secret cavities of truck, admittedly driven by the one of the appellants while two appellants were sitting besides him, which had duly been proved by the complainant (Investigation Officer) and had been testified by the other witness/ mashir---It was almost impossible to foist such a huge quantity of narcotics, as such it could not be presumed that they were not in knowledge of such huge quantity of narcotics lying in truck---It could not be said also that two co-accused were travelling in truck-in-question as passengers as a truck was not a public transport vehicle---One of the appellants had admitted in his statement recorded under S. 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1898 that he was owner of the truck-in-question---Witnesses (Police Officials) narrated the story in true manner and remained consistent despite lengthy cross-examination and their testimony could not be shattered---No circumstance suggested alleged false implication of appellants with such a huge quantity of contraband---Prosecution had successfully proved its case against the appellants---Appeals filed by the accused persons were dismissed, in circumstances.
