Case background: In the course of the examination of the appellant and the car he was driving SP8 detected the aroma of cannabis from the car. SP8 then asked the appellant whether he had cannabis with him. The appellant pleaded with SP8 not to take any action against him before handing over his driving license. SP8 testified that the appellant looked anxious and worried. SP8 then directed him to open his car boot and the compartment of the spare tyre. Upon opening the boot, SP8 saw slabs wrapped in plastic inside the spare tyre compartment which he suspected to be cannabis.

PW4 sat down at the table next to where the appellant was sitting. Upon seeing the appellant leaving the restaurant PW4 arrested him.

Inside the black plastic bag was a transparent plastic bag containing a compressed block of dried plants suspected to be cannabis. Subsequent tests by the chemist revealed this to be 436.2 grams of the proscribed drug, cannabis or ganja.
