    Case Summary Case: STC 373/2023 | Date: 26.02.2026 Outcome: The court recorded the witness examination testimony in a case involving alleged seizure of contraband tobacco (11 packets) from the accused's shop. The court found significant procedural irregularities: no photographs were taken during seizure, no public witnesses were present during the arrest, and the seized material was destroyed without proper documentation. The court noted discrepancies between the police officer's claims and the actual evidence presented, casting doubt on the investigation's legitimacy and ruling against the prosecution's version of events.
