Judgment text as reported

Ali VS State Ss. 9(c) & 29---Possession of narcotic---Presumption---Scope---Section 29 Control of Narcotic Substances Act, 1997, created the presumption of the commission of an offence under said Act where a person is found in possession of narcotics, for the possession of which he fails to account satisfactorily---Possession comes first and accounting for it comes later---If there is no possession, there is no accounting for such possession and mere knowledge of the presence of drugs without such possession does not suffice even to raise the presumption under S.29 of the Act, 1997.
