The court found prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused had custody, control and knowledge of the seized drugs (direct observation, keys and access, physical contact with a package matching drugs in locked room, unbroken chain of custody and chemist's report); statutory presumption under s.37(da) ADB applied given quantities and the accused failed to rebut it on the balance of probabilities; accordingly conviction for trafficking and possession upheld.
