The court held the prosecution proved seizure, marking, handing over and chemical analysis of distinct packets found in the accused's trouser pocket so the chain of custody was not broken; the accused failed to raise reasonable doubt; convictions on four charges were sustained; sentencing was varied applying the totality principle to avoid a crushing aggregate sentence and to reflect separate offences, resulting in substituted terms totaling eight years' imprisonment from 26.6.2019 and 13 strokes of whipping, with whipping to take effect consecutively under section 288(5) CPC.
