Judgment text as reported

HASSAN KHAN VS STATE. S. 376---Rape---DNA sample---Buccal swab standards---Preservation---It would be a fallacy to only focus on preservation period of Buccal swab standards alone, to examine its authenticity---It is the DNA extracted from Buccal swab standards which can stay for years---Period of approximately 1 ½ year after collection of swabs does not seem as a period which can discredit evidentiary value of such DNA in given circumstances.
