    AI-82D-4-07/2022 (Mahkamah Majistret)

    Having evaluated witness testimony, exhibits and authorities, the court held prosecution proved both offences beyond reasonable doubt: laboratory reports and corroborating witness evidence established presence of methamphetamine; defects or omissions in procedure (including non-compliance with s31A and missing ancillary documents/exhibits) were not fatal in light of case law and explanations tendered; presumption under s37(k) applied and defence failed to rebut it on the balance of probabilities; accordingly accused convicted on both counts and sentenced.
