The prosecution failed to prove the essential elements of possession (exclusive custody/control and knowledge) because the drugs were found in an unlocked bedroom accessible to others, independent investigation was lacking (investigating officer did not visit the scene) and no evidence excluded access by other persons; consequently there was no prima facie case and the accused could not safely be called to answer.
