Judgment text as reported

Shoaib Ahmed VS State S. 9(c)---Possession of narcotic substances---Appreciation of evidence---Safe custody and safe transmission of narcotic to laboratory not proved---Prosecution case was that 3000-grams charas in six slabs was recovered from the possession of accused---Record showed that Incharge of Malkhana, who received the samples from the Investigating Officer and made entries thereof in register No.19, failed to produce and exhibit the copy of register No.19 on the Court record, thus creating serious doubts in the case of prosecution with regard to establishing safe custody and safe transmission of narcotic---Columns 5 & 6 of register No.19, provided that every article placed in the store-room shall be entered and removal of any such article shall also be noted in the appropriate column, but in the instant case, the Incharge of Malkhana had failed to produce the register from which it could be ascertained whether the signatures of the Investigation Officer of the case were obtained in Register No.19 at the time of receiving the samples as well as while handing over the samples for onward transmission to the office of Chemical Expert or otherwise, which could support the case of the prosecution---Such material discrepancies showed that the prosecution had compromised the safe custody of the narcotics and created a reasonable doubt in the case of the prosecution---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
