    CF-83D-305-06/2022 (Mahkamah Majistret)

    The court convicted because prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt the elements of s15(1)(a) DDA 1952: urine analysis confirmed THC (a Part III substance), the statutory presumption under s37(k) was properly invoked after proof of basic facts including valid collection and intact chain of custody, and the defence failed to raise a reasonable doubt; national and international testing guidelines are advisory and not legally binding absent ministerial regulation.
