Despite chemical confirmation of Cannabis and its weight, the prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case because material contradictions and unexplained gaps in the police evidence regarding custody, transfer, and documentary discrepancies undermined the continuity and reliability of the chain of custody and the credibility of key witness evidence (SP2). The inconsistencies defeated the prosecution's case on maximum assessment.
