ORDER

ASIF SAEED KHAN KHOSA, J.---None has entered appearance to prosecute this petition on behalf of the petitioner nor any request has been received seeking an adjournment.

2. The petitioner had been apprehended red-handed while in possession of bhiki (poast) weighing 30 kilograms and a sample of the recovered substance had subsequently been tested positive by the Chemical Examiner. The prosecution has relied upon statements of sonic prosecution witnesses who had witnessed the alleged recovery and apparently the said prosecution witnesses had no ostensible reason to falsely implicate the petitioner in a case of this nature. The case against the petitioner is hit by section 51 of the Control of Narcotic Substances Act, 1997. This petition is, therefore, dismissed and leave to appeal is refused.
