    The Court held the prosecution proved a negotiated sale (trafficking) beyond reasonable doubt through credible agent provocateurs and corroborated contemporaneous documentation; chain of custody was established by markings and witness identification so no break; telephone records were not material to require adverse inference; common intention and control/knowledge were inferable from the accuseds' conduct; the trial judge's interventions were lawful under s165 and s182A CPC was substantively satisfied; convictions and mandatory death sentences were affirmed.
