Mohan Lal & Ors vs State Of Himachal Pradesh Throughits ... on 17 March, 1997
taken his weighing scale. According to this witness, nothing
more had happened in his presence. He was cross-examined
by learned prosecutor but nothing favouring prosecution was
stated by him. It is submitted on behalf of the appellant that
from the statement of PW-1, the entire prosecution story was
falsified. Learned trial Court has dealt with this contention
by relying upon the judgment of this Court in Criminal Appeal
No. 305 of 2014, titled Sohan Lal vs. State of H.P.We are in
agreement with the findings recorded by learned trial Court
that appellant could not avail anything apart from the fact of
independent witness turning hostile. It is not uncommon in
our system that the independent witness turns hostile for
various obvious reasons. It cannot be always inferred from
such conduct of independent witness that the prosecution
case was false. In the cases under NDPS Act, the principle of
reverse burden applies. Once the conscious possession of
contraband with the accused is proved, it is for the accused
to bring on record such facts, which may create doubt in the
prosecution story.
