Bench: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Muhammad Karim Khan Agha, Hon'ble Mr. Justice Zulfiqar Ali Sangi(Author) Order Date: 03-NOV-22

It is observed that the mere heinousness of the charge and recovery of a huge quantity of the alleged contraband is no ground to convict the accused. The prosecution is under a bounden responsibility to drive home the charge by proving each limb of its case that essentially included the production of the witness tasked with the responsibility of keeping the narcotic in safe custody and safely transmitting the samples to the office of the Chemical Examiner. Failure to do so is fatal to the prosecution case.
