Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Imran VS State S.9(c)---Possession of narcotic substances---Appreciation of evidence---Site plan not prepared on pointing of recovery witnesses---Prosecution case was that 19-kilograms heroin was recovered from the possession of accused---Investigating Officer stated in his examination-in-chief that he prepared the site plan on 22.05.2020 at the time of his first visit to the place of recovery but during cross-examination, it turned out that site plan was having date of 01.06.2020 at its bottom---Site plan was required to be prepared on the pointing out of the recovery witnesses but recovery witness stated that subsequent to 22.05.2020 he and the remaining witnesses never accompanied the Investigating Officer to the eventful place---If it was so, then how the site plan was prepared on 01.06.2020---Said query remained unaddressed during trial as well as in appeal---Beyond everything it was spelled out from the site plan that though at point No.2 the presence of witnesses was shown but no reference to complainant and recovery witness was made therein---In such circumstances, no reliance could be placed upon the site plan---Legitimate legal inference which could be drawn from such shortcoming was that complainant and recovery witness had not witnessed the recovery proceedings, hence their presence was not shown in the site plan---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
