Judgment text as reported

ZAIN ALI VS State S. 9---Possession of narcotic---Testimonies of the police personnel---Such testimonies are required to be treated in the same manner as the testimony of any other witness and there is no principle of law that without corroboration from independent witnesses, their testimonies cannot be relied upon---Presumption that a person acts honestly applies, as much in favour of police personnel as of other persons and it is not proper judicial approach to distrust and suspect them without good grounds.
