As alluded to earlier and at the risk of repeatition it was the Accused's evidence that those drugs in the blue "Samsung" bag did not belong to him but Fateh. The Police had arrested Fateh, who the Investigating Officer confirmed that he existed and that Fateh was arrested with Cannabis found in his room. [36] This Court had considered his defence of denial of the possession of the drugs found in his hand whilst holding them in the blue "Samsung" bag against the strong evidence of the Prosecution witness i.e the Arresting Officer (SP5) as this Court found that SP5's evidence was credible, logical and highly probable. This will be discussed later. The Accused said that the drugs belonged to Fateh who stayed at Level 1. He said the Police took the drugs from Fateh and claimed that those was his. However, in his Cautioned Statement he agreed that he did not see the Police took the drugs in the bag from Fateh. S/N rzSt3PjFokCn4f0JnQrWxg However, he admitted all those drugs found in the room were his. [37] The Accused called his witness (SD2) to testify on his behalf to support him. This Court had considered SD2's evidence whose evidence is consistent with the Accused's denials. According to him, he accompanied the Accused from the Accused's Unit to the bottom of the staircase. The Accused was not holding anything in his hands much less the blue "Samsung" bag. Thereafter he left and walked towards his car. The Accused also tendered his Coutioned Statement (D36) to support and corroborate his testimony. This Court observed that his defence as manifested in his Cautioned Statement was just a repetition of what he had testified in Court i.e that the drugs in the blue "Samsung" bag were not his but Fateh's. [38] In his testimony, the Accused said that on that fateful day, his friend SD2 came to his Unit to visit him. The Accused together with SD2 came downstairs because he wanted to wait for Food Panda delivery to get his food and to open the locked grill of the stairs for SD2 to exit. He reitereated, he did not hold anything in his hands much less the blue "Samsung" bag. Upon reaching downstairs D2 left. [39] A few moments later, the Accused was arrested and brought into his Unit whereby Police found the 2 packets that contained Cannabis and Methamphetamine drugs respectively (P15 and P16). S/N rzSt3PjFokCn4f0JnQrWxg [40] According to the Accused, thereafter the OKT/Accused brought SP5 and his team to Fateh's Unit downstairs (Level 1) but Fateh knowing of the Police's coming threw the bag (P24) containing the drugs downstairs and the Police team picked up the bag and gave the Accused to hold the (P24) bag, as if the things were found on him. [41] This Court had scrutinised and assess the evidence of the Accused which was faintly supported by the evidence of SD2. [42] This Court found that, against the strong evidence of PW5 and other Prosecution witnesses (whose credibility are intact and will be discussed later) with the Accused's evidence of a mere denial, the Accused's defence cannot raise a reasonable doubt, and rebut the presumption. [43] The Accused has called SD2 to give evidence on his behalf testifying that he did not see the Accused holding the blue bag that contained the drugs when both of them were coming down the stairs together from the Unit. This Court ruled that he is an interested witness and his evidence are to be treated with caution as he is a close friend of the Accused as admitted by him. The Accused also admitted to that fact. This Court ruled that from his demeanour, he is not a truthful witness. He came to Court to exculpate the Accused. S/N rzSt3PjFokCn4f0JnQrWxg [44] The Coutioned Statement was tendered as (D36). The contents are consistent with the evidence he gave in Court, i.e that the drugs found in the "Samsung" bag were not his but Fateh's. [45] From the totality of the evidence, this Court ruled that SP5 is a credible witness. His evidence was corroborated by the Police Report (P17) lodged by him which is considered a contemporaneous document supported by the Search List (P27) and Handing Over List (P28). Further, he is just a Police Officer who is doing his official job and there's no personal advantage that he will gain from the arrest of the Accused (see Phan Kim Tung v. PP [2021] 1 LNS 168). There was no evidence to show that he has an axe to grind neither was there any evidence to show the Accused knew him before. Same goes to other Police witnesses. [46] Further, Section 114 (e) of the Evidence Act says that we have to accept SP5 and other Police witnesses' evidence because we have to presume that their official act was regularly performed, unless otherwise proven or rebutted or contradicted. As alluded to earlier, the Accused did not know SP5 and SP5 has no reason to frame him. There was no evidence adduced by the Defence which can undermine SP5's credibility. Infact, this Court has observed his demaenour in the coure of the trial and found that there was no reason for this Court to doubt his credibility as the element of inherent probability was present in this case. S/N rzSt3PjFokCn4f0JnQrWxg [47] Regarding SD2, as alluded to earlier, obviously he is an interested witness to exculpate the Accused, being his close friend from these charges. … [49] For the aforesaid reason, for the first charge, this Court ruled that the Prosecution had succeeded in proving that the Accused was in possession of the drugs in question with knowledge. As the drugs were more than 50 grammes, the presumption of trafficking against the Accused for the first charge was invoked and his duty is to rebut the presumption. [50] As the Defence has failed to rebut that presumption of trafficking (the first charge), as his defence was a bare denial against the strong evidence of the Prosecution's witnesses, hence the Prosecution has proven its case beyond reasonable doubt and the Accused is hence found guilty and convicted. For the second and the third charge, as he has admitted to be his, hence this Court has found him guilty and convicted him too. [51] The Defence argued that the Prosecution failed to call Fateh, which has created a gap in the Prosecution's case and also could give rise to a suppression of evidence and an adverse inference under Section 114 (g) Evidence Act should be invoked. S/N rzSt3PjFokCn4f0JnQrWxg [52] This Court had considered this argument. It is to be remembered that the first charge against the Accused was that he was in possession of the drugs at the material time, found in the blue "Samsung" bag he was then holding/carrying and was triggered with the presumption of trafficking, Cannabis might have been found in Fateh's room as asserted by the Defence. This Court cannot fanthom how that same type of drugs could have any nexus at any material time, with the drugs the Accused was found holding in the "Samsung" bag with no evidence adduced before the Court to suggest such proposition. To accede to such proposition would be stretching it too far. Each offender will have to answer for their own separate offence. Likewise, in this case, Fateh should be responsible for the drugs found in his room. [53] As there was no nexus between the 2, there was no necessity to call Fateh to testify. His absence did not create a gap in the Prosecution's case. The Prosecution's case was that the Police found the drugs in P24 was held by the Accused and this the Prosecution has successfully proved.” Prinsip Undang-Undang Berkaitan Dapatan Fakta di Peringkat
