Judgment text as reported

Shaukat Ali VS State S. 9(1), Sr. No. 3(a)---Possession and transportation of narcotic substances---Appreciation of evidence---Non-exhibiting report of chemical examiner during trial---Effect---Prosecution case was that the accused was found in possession of 230-grams baked charas---Record reflected that though the report of the Chemical Examiner had been annexed with the record of the Trial Court, however, it was not exhibited during the course of trial---Document could only be exhibited when it was relevant and admissible in evidence---Prior to exhibition of a document, question of its admissibility must be decided by the Trial Court---Law provided a procedure for exhibiting a document to be read in evidence, which had been blatantly overlooked in the instant case by the Trial Court---Undeniably, the report of Chemical Examiner could not be exhibited during the course of trial, therefore, the same could not be taken into consideration to maintain conviction of the appellant---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
