Prosecution proved a prima facie case: the seized substance was Cannabis (net 687.7g), the accused had custody and control of the bag thereby attracting the statutory presumption of knowledge under s37(d) ADB 1952, and the quantity supported inference of trafficking; chain of custody was intact and defence explanations (third‑party placement, missing CCTV or vehicle, non‑summoning of named persons) failed to raise reasonable doubt; defendant convicted and sentenced accordingly.
