Although chemist evidence established the drugs' identity, prosecution failed to prove prima facie that either accused planted, possessed or trafficked the drugs; statutory presumptions under s6B(4) and s37(da) could not be invoked to link the accused because of evidence of third‑party access, the layout and remoteness of planting areas, lack of direct evidence of ownership/control of seized bottles, and absence of proof of common intention under s34; accordingly both accused were acquitted and discharged at the close of prosecution.
