Citation Name: 2025 YLR 1355 KARACHI-HIGH-COURT-SINDHBookmark this Case Danish VS State S. 9(c)---Possession of narcotic substance---Compromised chain of safe custody of recovered substance---Effect---Scope---Failure to maintain a secure and verifiable chain of custody necessitated acquittal, as the prosecution could not prove the integrity of the evidence---Absence of a secure and documented chain of custody severely undermined the prosecution's case---Compromised chain of custody and the failure to ensure the secure transmission of evidence, meant that the prosecution had not satisfied the burden of proof---As a result, the accused should be acquitted of all charges as the evidence failed to meet the requisite standard of proof beyond reasonable doubt.
