Contradictions in the case of prosecution

Sample taken from the seized substance and sent to the office of Chemical Examiner had not been proved by the prosecution

Nothing was on record that sample of seized substance remained intact and same was deposited with the office of Chemical Examiner without tampering

Possibility that the sample might have been tampered with could not be ruled out

Prosecution had not established the safe custody of recovered substance

Oral evidence of prosecution witnesses had not been corroborated by the report of Chemical Examiner

Mere oral evidence of prosecution did not discharge the heavy burden lay on it

Prosecution had not been able to prove the charge levelled against the accused

Accused was acquitted of the charge and her surety was discharged from the liability

Appeal was allowed in circumstances.
