    Prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt via observed preliminary test, secure chain of custody, and GCMS confirmation that urine contained morphine; accused is a recidivist with three prior convictions invoking section 39C(1) DDA which prescribes imprisonment of not less than five and not more than seven years and whipping; balancing mitigation and public interest, court exercised discretion to impose the maximum lawful term of seven years imprisonment and three years police supervision; photographic evidence of urination is not required by law.
