Appellant was guilty because he had actual possession and control of the parcel (collected personally, carried it out, tore consignment note) and his conduct (throwing the parcel and attempting to flee upon Customs identifying themselves) permitted the irresistible inference of knowledge of illegal contents; chemist evidence was reliable and quantity supported statutory presumption of trafficking; accordingly conviction was upheld and sentence commuted to 30 years imprisonment and 12 strokes of whipping to run from date of arrest.
