Judgment text as reported

Sadam Khan VS State S. 9(c)---Possession of narcotic substances---Appreciation of evidence---Safe custody and transmission of the narcotic substances not proved---Prosecution case was that 80-kilograms charas was recovered from the vehicle of accused persons---Malkhana in-charge testified that on 17.06.2022, whilst he was present in the police station, Investigating Officer handed over to him four parcels, which he deposited in the Malkhana and made entry in Register No.19---Said witness although admitted to have made entry in Register No.19, but neither mentioned about serial number of entry nor did he produce the relevant page of Register No.19, which the prosecution was under obligation to produce---Malkhana in-charge in his examination-in-chief also did not state that when and to whom he had handed over one parcel for onward transmission to the office of Narcotics Testing Laboratory for chemical analysis---Thus, in view of the said statements, the entire process of safe custody and transmission of the narcotics from the place of recovery to the Malkhana and then its onward transmission to Forensic Science Laboratory became doubtful---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
