Prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case because (a) although chain of custody showed the sample belonged to the accused, the expert report did not establish that the detected amphetamine/methamphetamine were classified as 'dangerous drugs' under Parts III & IV of the First Schedule and (b) the statutory presumption under Section 37(k) could not be invoked because Section 31A requirements were not met—the accused was not an 'arrested person' when the urine sample was taken; consequently discharge at end of prosecution was appropriate.
