Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Irfan VS State S. 9(1), Sr. No.(3)(c)---Possession of narcotic substance---Appreciation of evidence---Police officials as witnesses---Scope---Accused was charged for having in his possession 1500 gram charas---Admittedly, all the prosecution witnesses in the present case were police officials---However, there was nothing on record to suggest that they bore any animosity or malice against the appellant that would have motivated them to falsely implicate or substitute him in place of the actual culprit(s)---Police Officials were as competent and credible as any other private witnesses---In the absence of any demonstrated animosity or mala fide intent, their testimony was worthy of reliance, provided it remained consistent and unshaken during the test of cross-examination---Appeal against conviction was dismissed, in circumstances.
