AFTAB VS THE STATE ETC
Summary: Acquittal allowed---The case stemmed from an incident when the police apprehended Aftab and two others, allegedly in possession of narcotics. Following an investigation and trial, Aftab was convicted and sentenced to five years of rigorous imprisonment with a fine of Rs. 20,000. However, during the appeal, the defense argued that there were significant inconsistencies and contradictions in the prosecution's case, primarily related to the handling and testing of the seized narcotics. The court noted several key issues, including discrepancies in the dates of sample preparation, doubts about the safe custody of the recovered substances, and the absence of a formal application or order for the preparation of a second sample for chemical analysis. The court ultimately concluded that these irregularities and contradictions undermined the prosecution's case, and it acquitted Aftab. Additionally, the court accepted Aftab's application to recall a previous order that revoked his bail and ordered the forfeiture of his bail bonds, effectively resolving the related issues in his favor. The Lahore High Court acquitted Aftab of the charges due to significant legal and procedural irregularities in the case, highlighting doubts about the evidence's integrity and reliability.
MERAJ KHALID VS STATE
Summary: The case revolved around his involvement in a narcotics-related incident. Miraj Khalid was apprehended by the police in Gujrat, Pakistan, when he and another individual fled from a bus after the police spotted them carrying bundles believed to contain narcotics. Subsequent checks revealed the recovery of 135 kilograms of charas and 10 kilograms of opium from these bundles. Following an investigation and trial, Miraj Khalid was convicted under Section 9(c) of the Control of Narcotics Substances Act, 1997, and sentenced to life imprisonment with a fine of Rs. 2,00,000. However, during the appeal, the appellant's defense counsel argued that the quantity of narcotics proven against the appellant did not exceed 1500 grams, based on the sampling and chemical analysis procedures. They cited legal precedents to support their argument that only one sample should have been taken from each separate packet of narcotics. The judgment sheet noted that while the appellant did not contest his conviction, his defense requested a reduction in the sentence, citing legal rulings and arguing that the sentence should be based on the quantity of narcotics actually proven against him. The court agreed with this argument and reduced Miraj Khalid's sentence to time already served (approximately eight years) and set aside the fine.
