Judgment text as reported

Naveed Ahmed VS State S. 9(c)---Possession of narcotic substance---Appreciation of evidence---Prosecution case was that 1455-grams heroin powder was recovered from the possession of accused---In narcotic cases, it was crucial to establish the charge of possession of narcotic recovered from the accused while strictly observing that the contraband was searched and seized by an officer not below the rank of Sub-Inspector, that samples from each packet must be collected and sent for chemical analysis, that samples should be forwarded to the Forensic Science Laboratory within reasonable time of the seizure; and that ensuring the proper sending and safe transmission of the sample to the Forensic Science Laboratory was also vital---In the present case, all of the said legal requirements had been properly adhered to---Under S.29, Control of Narcotic Substances Act, a presumption is attached in trials regarding the possession of illicit articles of which accused has failed to account satisfactorily, unless and until contrary is proved by the appellant---Said burden was also not contradicted or disproven by the appellant/convict, who failed to explain his possession of such a large quantity of narcotic or his presence at the scene---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved through cogent, credible and reliable evidence that police had recovered 1455 grams of heroin from the appellant and brought home the charge against him---Appeal against conviction was dismissed, in circumstances.
