Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Imran VS State S. 9(c)---Possession of narcotic substances---Appreciation of evidence---Contradictions in the statement of witnesses---Prosecution case was that 19-kilograms heroin was recovered from the possession of accused---Complainant claimed during cross-examination that the appellant made an endeavour to decamp from the spot after alighting from the vehicle but was apprehended---On the other hand, two recovery witnesses mentioned nothing to that effect while providing the details of recovery proceedings witnessed by them---According to complainant, he prepared the sample parcels after separating through knife the required amount of heroin from the main chunk---On the other hand, recovery witnesses described altogether a different mode adopted by complainant for separating the heroin to prepare sample parcels---Both the recovery witnesses deposed that the samples were prepared by complainant by using a piece of paper---Allegedly recovered heroin was placed in a black bag which was exhibited during trial and upon it the particulars of the case were mentioned---Said anomaly by no stretch could be ignored as it gave a picture that the black bag was probably an article of some other case---No explanation for the said shortcoming was offered by the prosecution which led to the conclusion that the bag produced during trial had no concern with the case in hand---If the black bag was excluded, the detail of crime put forth by the prosecution became dubious as the recovered heroin was placed in it---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
