Conviction affirmed because the analyst gave direct oral evidence that the detected Methamphetamine is listed in Part III of the First Schedule to the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, curing the omission in the written pathology report; however the original 12‑month custodial sentence was reduced to 6 months because the trial judge improperly considered an unproven subsequent arrest as an aggravating factor and failed to balance mitigation and public interest appropriately.
