Judgment text as reported

Jaffar Mehmood VS State S. 9(c)---Possession of narcotic substances---Appreciation of evidence---Recovery of narcotic substance from exclusive possession of accused not proved---Prosecution case was that 25-kilograms charas was recovered from the possession of the accused---Complainant reiterated what he had mentioned in his murasila---Recovery witness deposed in similar lines as deposed by complainant---Said witness produced recovery memo. of parcels Nos. 1 to 20 and charas and a brown bag---Story of the prosecution was highly improbable, which did not appeal to a prudent mind---Question was as to why the appellant waited for the police to come and arrest him with the narcotic, when he had enough time to push away the narcotic towards the front seat or at the back to save himself, rather than being caught red-handed---As the packets of charas were not recovered from his physical possession, the prosecution had failed to prove the exclusive possession of the narcotic from the appellant---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
