Gaunter Edwin Kircher vs State Of Goa, Secretariat, Panaji, Goa on 16 March, 1993

In the case of Gaunter Edwin Kircher vs. State of Goa (1993) 3 SCC 145, two pieces of charas one weighing 5 grams and other 7 grams allegedly were recovered from the possession of the appellant. Only the piece weighing 5 grams was sent for chemical analysis. The report of the chemical analysis confirmed that the piece 23 contained charas. In view of failure to send the alleged piece weighing 7 grams for chemical analysis it was held that possession of more than the small quantity of charas is not established beyond reasonable doubt. It was held that in the absence of positive proof that both the pieces recovered from the accused contained charas only, it is not safe to hold that 12 grams of charas were recovered from the accused. The failure to send the other piece has given rise to this inference. It was observed that to obliviate this difficulty, the concerned authorities would do better if they send the entire quantity seized for chemical analysis so that there may not be any dispute of this nature regarding the quantity seized. If it is not practicable, in a given case, to send the entire quantity then sufficient quantity by way of samples from each of the packets or pieces recovered should be sent for chemical examination under a regular panchnama and as per the provisions of law.
