Since both the appeals (supra) arise from a common verdict, made by the learned trial Judge concerned, hence both the appeals (supra) are amenable for a common verdict being made thereons.

¶7

Both the appeals (supra) are directed against the impugned verdict, as made on 11.7.2013, upon Sessions Case No. 278 of 31.8.2010, by the learned Judge, Special Court, Sangrur, wherethrough in respect of charges drawn against the accused-appellants qua offences punishable under Sections 15 and 25 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (hereinafter referred to as “the Act”), the learned trial Judge concerned, proceeded to record a finding of conviction under Section 15 of the Act,

¶11

Moreover, through a separate sentencing order dated 12.7.2013, the learned trial Judge concerned, imposed upon, the convicts-appellants both sentence(s) of imprisonment as well as sentence(s) of fine, but in the hereinafter extracted manner:

¶13

Keeping in view the entire facts and circumstances, the convict Partap Singh alias Baljit Singh alias Kala and Meeta Singh are sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for 10 years each and to pay Rs. 10,000/- each as fine under Section 15 of the Act. In default of payment of fine, they shall further undergo rigorous imprisonment for two years each. Accused Partap Singh alias Baljit Singh alias Kala is also sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for 10 years and to pay Rs. 1,00,000/as fine under Section 25 of the Act. In default of payment of fine, he shall further undergo rigorous imprisonmnent for two years. ”

¶14

The period of detention undergone by the convicts, during the

¶15

investigations, and, trial of the case, was, in terms of Section 428 of the Cr.P.C., rather ordered to be set off, from the above imposed sentence(s) of imprisonment.

¶16

The accused-convicts become aggrieved from the above drawn verdict of conviction, besides also, become aggrieved from the consequent therewith sentences of imprisonment, and, of fine as became imposed, upon them, by the learned convicting Court concerned, and, hence have chosen to institute thereagainst the instant criminal appeals.

Ex. PD, are that on 05.11.2009, SI Amritpal Singh while posted as SHO P.S.Sadar, Malerkotla, along with HC Sinder Singh, HC Jasbir Singh and HC Sharif Mohd., on official vehicle, bearing registration No.PB-13U-7894, being driven by HC Gurmail Singh was present at T-Point Dulwan Kalan, Sandaur in connection with patrolling duty, where ASI Simranjot Singh, Incharge Police Post Sandaur along with HC Jagtar Singh SPO Jagroop Singh and SPO Malkiat Singh have also come present on an official vehicle bearing registration No.PB-13N-0446, being driven by C. Davinder Singh, in connection with Nakabandi. They were also joined in the police party headed by SI Amritpal Singh. They started checking of suspected persons as well as of the vehicles. At about 7.15 P.M, a vehicle make Scorpio bearing registration No.DL-3C-AJ-4743 from the side of village Dulman came there, which was signaled to stop by C. Davinder Singh with the help of search light. The above said Scorpio was stopped at a distance of 15-20 karms from the police party. Two persons alighted from the above vehicle, and fled away. The person who was driving the Scorpio was identified as Baljit Singh alias Kala son of Jang Singh resident of village Jollian and the second person was identified as Meeta Singh son of Balbir Singh, resident of village Jhaner, by C. Davinder Singh at the spot. SI Amritpal Singh asked C. Davinder Singh and SPO Jagroop Singh to chase them. Thereafter, SI Amritpal Singh with the help of fellow police officials conducted search of the above Scorpio, which led to recovery of three poly bags, mouth of which were tied with jute thread. SI Amritpal Singh opened the above said three bags, which led to the recovery of poppy husk. The bags were marked as Sr. Nos.1 to 3. From each bag, two samples of 250 gms. each were separated, and, separate parcels were prepared. On weighment, each bag was found to

be containing 39.5 kgs of poppy husk, which were also converted into a separate parcels. The samples were marked as Sr. Nos. 1,2,3 and 1A, 2A and 3A. Subsequently, all the sample parcels and bulk parcels were sealed by SI Amritpal Singh with his seal bearing impression 'APS'. Specimen of the seal Ex.P1 was prepared separately. Seal after use was handed over to ASI Simranjot Singh. All the sample parcels along with bulk parcels, specimen seal and Scorpio bearing registration No. DL-3C-AJ-4743 were taken into possession vide recovery memo Ex.PB, which became attested by ASI Simarnjot Singh, and, HC Shinder Singh. SI Amritpal Singh prepared ruqa Ex. PC and sent the same to the Police Station concerned, on the basis of which formal FIR Ex. PD was registered. Rough site plan of the place of recovery Ex. PE was prepared. Report under Section 57 of the Act Ex.PF was also prepared at the spot.

¶25

On return to the police station, witnesses and entire case property were produced before officiating SHO ASI Sant Singh, who verified the facts of the case, interrogated the accused and affixed his seal bearing impression "SS" on the parcels as well as on sample seal chit and attested it along with case property. Thereafter, on the directions of ASI Sant Singh, Investigating Officer deposited case property with MHC Manjit Singh.

¶26

On 06.11.2009, SI Amritpal Singh withdrew the case property from MHC Manjit Singh and produced the same before Sh.Pushpinder Singh, learned Judicial Magistrate Ist Class Malerkotla and moved an application Ex.PG.

PS as well as seal of Investigating Officer bearing impression APS. Photographs of the case property was also taken in the Court and the Court passed order Ex.PH and Ex.PJ. The investigating officer concerned, moved an application Ex. PA to get the order of the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sangrur and to deposit the case property in Judicial Malkhana and the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sangrur passed order Ex.PA/1. Owing to paucity of space in the Judicial Malkhana, the Investigating Officer on returning to the police Station, deposited the case with MHC. On 05.05.2010 accused Meeta Singh was arrested in this case. On 25.05.2010 ASI Bachittar Singh arrested the accused Partap Singh alias Baljit Singh alias Kala Singh.

¶30

After conclusion of investigations, and, on receipt of report of Chemical Examiner the investigating officer concerned, proceeded to institute a report under Section 173 of the Cr.P.C., before the learned Court concerned.

¶31

Trial Proceedings

¶32

The learned trial Judge concerned, made an objective analysis of the incriminatory material, adduced before him. Resultantly, he proceeded to draw charge against the accused-appellants, for the offences punishable under Sections 15 and 25 of the Act. The afore drawn charges were put to the accused-appellants, to which they pleaded not guilty, and, claimed trial.

¶33

In proof of its case, the prosecution examined 11 witnesses, and, thereafter the learned Public Prosecutor concerned, closed the prosecution evidence. After the closure of prosecution evidence, the learned trial Judge concerned, drew proceedings, under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C., but thereins, the accused pleaded innocence, and, claimed false implication.

¶36

The accused led two defence witnesses into the witness box.

¶37

As above stated, the learned trial Judge concerned, proceeded to convict the accused-appellants for the charges (supra), as became drawn against them, and, also as above stated, proceeded to, in the hereinabove manner, impose the sentence(s) of imprisonment, as well as of fine, upon the convicts-appellants.

¶38

Submissions of the learned counsel for the appellants

¶39

The learned counsel for the aggrieved convicts-appellants has argued before this Court, that the impugned verdict of conviction, and, consequent therewith order of sentence, require an interference. He supports the above submission on the ground, that it is based on a gross misappreciation, and, non-appreciation of evidence germane to the charge.

¶40

Submissions of the learned State counsel

¶41

On the other hand, the learned State counsel has argued before this Court, that the verdict of conviction, and, consequent therewith sentence(s) (supra), as become imposed upon the convicts, is well merited, and, does not require any interference, being made by this Court in the exercise of its appellate jurisdiction. Therefore, he has argued that the instant appeals, as preferred by the convicts, be dismissed.

¶42

Analysis of the case

¶43

Through recovery memo Ex. PB, the recovery of the contraband became allegedly recovered from the site concerned. In proof of the prosecution case, SI Amritpal Singh stepped into the witness box as PW-8, and, in his examination-in-chief, he made speakings thereins, which concur with the contents of the appeal FIR, to which Ex. PD is assigned.

¶44

The prosecution though has been able to lead cogent evidence,

¶45

Gurpreet Singh 2024.11.25 09:53 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

¶46

CRA-D-825-DB-2013 (O&M) - 7CRA-S-2765-SB-2013 (O&M)

¶47

in proof of the recovery of the seizure, thus being effected from the crime vehicle, at the crime site, and, the same thus being sealed with the relevant seal impressions. Moreover, though the prosecution has also been able to cogently establish, that the sealed cloth parcels, became deposited in the malkhana concerned. In addition, though the prosecution has been able to establish, that the case property travelled in an untampered condition to the FSL concerned.

¶48

In addition, a reading of the report (Ex.PZ), as made by the FSL concerned, whereto the relevant seizures became sent for an examination being made of the stuff inside the sealed cloth parcels, though reveals, that the examined stuff inside the sealed cloth parcels, as became sent to it for examination, thus being the powder of poppyhead. The said report is ad verbatim extracted hereinafter.

¶60

Opinion :- The analysis indicates that the contents of the exhibit marked here 9-P Nov.-09 to 11-P Nov.-09 are of Poppyhead” 18. Be that as it may, though a reading of the report (supra) of the

¶61

FSL also discloses, that the sealed cloth parcels, became received there, hence with the seal impressions thereons being intact. However, the chemical examiner at the FSL concerned, after making examinations of the stuff inside the sealed cloth parcels, and, thereafter his drawing the report (supra), yet omits to mention in the report Ex. PZ, about his re-enclosing the examined stuff inside the cloth parcels, and, his thereons affixing the seals of the FSL concerned.

¶62

The above was required to be mandatorily done, as, thereupon the imperatively required to be proven, thus unbroken links in the chain of incriminatory evidence, commencing from the seizure being made from the crime site, through recovery memo Ex.PB, and, lasting upto the production of the case property in Court, thus therebys would become convincingly proven, rather to remain unsnapped or unbroken. In the above event alone the charge drawn against the accused would be concluded to become cogently established. However, as above stated, contrarily for want of the chemical examiner concerned, after making examination(s) of the stuff inside, the sealed cloth parcels, thus re-enclosing the examined stuff inside the cloth parcels, and, his further failure to emboss thereons, rather the seals’ of the FSL concerned, whereafters the examined stuff after retrievals from the malkhana concerned, was to be produced in Court, for its being thus shown to the investigating officer concerned, for thereby thus, on evident surgingsforth of the above requisite primary evidence, rather the charge

¶64

¶65

drawn against the accused, could be concluded to be convincingly proven, rather for want supra the charge would stagger.

¶66

Be that as it may, sample parcels Ex. MO8 to Ex. MO13 became produced in the Court, besides bulk parcels Ex. MO14 to Ex. MO16 also became produced in the Court. However, sample parcels Ex. MO8 to Ex. MO13 rather cannot be related to the results of the examinations, as became made on the parcels, as became sent to the laboratory concerned. The reason for stating so, becomes comprised in the trite factum, that since after examination(s) of the stuff inside the sealed cloth parcels, the same never became re-enclosed in the cloth parcels, nor the seal impression of the FSL concerned, became made thereovers. Resultantly, therebys it may be concluded that neither the same sample parcels were ever sent to the laboratory concerned, and/or if they became sent, they for the above stated infirmity, cannot be declared to be related to the supra results of the examinations, as became made thereovers. Therefore, benefit of doubt is to be assigned to the appellants.

¶67

Resultantly, reiteratedly when scope is, thus left for an inference qua either the case property, thus not relating to the report (supra) of the FSL concerned, and/or to the enclosures inside Ex. MO8 to Ex. MO13, being introduced therein, thereby the report of the FSL (supra), rather looses its evidentiary vigour. A further scope is also left, thus to infer that the case property, if any, became tampered with. Moreover, much scope is also left for the drawing of an inference, that the case property other than the one related to the charge drawn against the accused, thus became produced in Court. As but a natural corollary, when the primary evidence for proving the charge drawn against the accused, does come under a cloud of

¶68

Gurpreet Singh 2024.11.25 09:53 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh

¶69

CRA-D-825-DB-2013 (O&M) - 10CRA-S-2765-SB-2013 (O&M)

¶70

deep suspicion. Resultantly, this Court is constrained to conclude, that the charge drawn against the accused did not come to be cogently established.

¶71

Lastly, since this Court while answering the substantial question of law sent to the larger Bench of this Court, in case No. CRA-S-5190-SB2015 titled as “Deepak Kumar V. State of Punjab” , thus has thereins expostulated that; a) There being an imperative necessity of testings being made of the stuff inside the sample parcels. b) The inventory as becomes prepared in the presence of Magistrate concerned, in terms of Section 52A of the Act, but without testings of the stuff enclosed in the sample parcels, thus being made at the laboratory concerned, rather per se not acquiring the utmost evidentiary vigor.

¶72

20. Conspicuously, the hereinabove extracted respective standing order and notification become declared by a judgment rendered by the Hon’ble Apex Court in case titled as “ Noor Aga V. State of Punjab and another” Criminal Appeal No.1034 of 2008, decided on 09.07.2008, to be holding a mandatory character and also become ordained therein to be requiring completest adherence. Contrarily on breach thereof becoming made, therebys may be the accused would become entitled to an acquittal.

¶73

21. Furthermore, in case the entire bulk is homogeneously mixed and derivative samples are derived therefroms, resultantly the effect thereof would be that, the incriminatory finding as become recorded on the stuff inside the sample parcels as sent to the laboratory concerned, thus would acquire a presumption of truth, irrespective of the fact that the entire bulk wherefrom the derivative samples are borrowed, but after the entire seizure becoming homogeneously mixed, rather not becoming sent for analyses thereovers, being made at the laboratory concerned. Contrarily, in case the entire bulk seizure remains not homogeneously mixed, thereupon the charge drawn against the accused appertaining to the weight of the entire weight of the seizure, de hors affirmative results being made in respect of the stuff inside the residue sample parcels, as, sent to the laboratory concerned, rather would come under a cloud of doubt,

¶77

whereupon benefit thereof would accrue to the accused.

¶78

22. As an illustration, if the 08 packets were allegedly recovered from the appellant and only two packets were having contraband substance and rest 6 packets did not have any contraband; though all may be of the same colour, when we mix the substances of all 8 packets into one or two; then definitely, the result would be of the total quantity and not of the two pieces. Therefore, the process adopted by the prosecution creates suspicion. In such a situation, as per settled law, the benefit thereof should go in favour of the accused. It does not matter the quantity, but proper procedure has to be followed, without which the results would be negative.

¶79

23. Reiteratedly, in case, the derivative samples from the bulk are drawn but without the entire bulk seizure becoming homogeneously mixed, thereupon the laboratory examination of the stuff inside the sample cloth parcels rather would not prove the charge relating to the weight of the entire bulk seizure taking place, at the crime site, thus from the alleged conscious and exclusive possession of the accused.

¶80

24. Contrarily, in case the entire bulk seizure is not homogeneously mixed or when the narcotic drug(s) or psychotropic substance, does become carried in different vials or in different packets, besides upon the said mode(s) of carryings of (supra), becomes not homogeneously mixed, thereupons, even if a fragment or a portion thereof becomes extracted from one vial or only from one packet, thus for creating a residue parcel, it would beget the ill consequence of the accused becoming entitled to an acquittal. Resultantly, when despite the evident absence of apposite homogeneous mixings of the entire bulk, taking place be it borne in packets, containers or be it being carried in different vials, besides when only a part or the fragment or portion of the seizure or only one or two of the vials, becoming extracted from the bulk, yet the said extracted fragment when becomes sent for examination to the laboratory concerned, but the apposite affirmative laboratory examination as becomes made vis-a-vis the stuff inside the sample parcels, rather would not make the charge drawn against the accused, thus for his allegedly exclusively and consciously possessing, the entire seizure, thus also becoming efficaciously proven.

¶83

25. Conspicuously when for the drawing of an effective conclusion, that the charge drawn against the accused qua his allegedly consciously and exclusively possessing, the entire bulk, but requires that only after homogeneous mixing of the bulk seizure, taking place, be it of psychotropic substance, in vials or in any other mode or be it with respect of narcotic drugs carried in whatsoever mode, rather residues therefroms becoming drawn, whereafter an affirmative finding on the stuff inside the residues, is required to be made by the Chemical Examiner concerned.”

¶84

Moreover, when evidently in the instant case, there is no

¶85

mentioning of takings place of homogeneous mixing of the entire bulk seized from the offending bulk, before taking sample parcels therefroms, hence the charge drawn against the accused appertaining to the weight of the entire seizure, de hors affirmative results being made in respect of the stuff inside the residue sample parcels, as, sent to the laboratory concerned, thus is not cogently proved.

¶86

Moreover, in paragraph 35 of the judgment rendered by the Hon’ble Apex Court in “ Noor Aga V. State of Punjab and another” Criminal Appeal No.1034 of 2008, decided on 09.07.2008 , paragraph

¶87

whereof becomes extracted hereinafter, thus becomes spelt the imperative sine qua non, rather requiring to become cogently proven hence for therebys the charge drawn against the accused becoming declared to become unflinchingly proven. However, since after the examination(s) being made of the stuff inside the sample parcels, thus by the FSL concerned, rather the latter did not re-enclose them in the sealed cloth parcels, hence carrying thereons the seals’ of the FSL concerned. Moreover, when the said sample parcel(s) became never returned to the office wherefrom they generated nor

¶90

when they became produced in Court.

¶91

“ 35. The High Court proceeded on the basis that non-production of physical evidence is not fatal to the prosecution case but the fact remains that a cumulative view with respect to the discrepancies in physical evidence creates an overarching inference which dents the credibility of the prosecution. Even for the said purpose the retracted confession on the part of the accused could not have been taken recourse to.”

¶92

Consequently, since the expostulation of law carried in verdict (supra), remains unsatiated thereby the accused become entitled to an acquittal.

¶93

The said view is also supported by a judgment rendered in case titled as “ Gaunter Edwin Kircher V. State of Goa, Secretariat Panji, Goa”, Criminal Appeal No.642 of 1991, decided on 16.03.1993 , relevant paragraph whereof becomes extracted hereinafter.

¶94

“ J. Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, Sections 52A and 53 – Customs Act, 1962, Section 110(IB) – Physical evidence – Case Property – Recovery of heroin from accused – Case property destroyed and not produced – Physical evidence relating to three samples taken from the bulk amount of heroin were also not produced – Bulk quantity was destroyed the samples were essential to be produced and proved as primary evidence for the purpose of establishing the fact of recovery of heroin as envisaged under Section 52A of the Act.”

¶95

Final order

¶96

The result of the above discussion, is that, this Court finds merit in both the appeals, and, is constrained to allow them. Consequently, both the appeals are allowed. The impugned judgment convicting, and, sentencing the appellants, and, as becomes recorded by the learned trial Gurpreet Singh Judge concerned, is quashed, and, set aside.
