— Control of Narcotic Substances Act, 1997— section 9 (c)— contradictions which are minor in nature would not be sufficient to dispel the entire prosecution case—there are minor contradictions in the statement of the witnesses but it cannot be held fatal for the prosecution. Khursheed Hussain Shah v. State & another 2022 SCR 334 (D)
— The minor discrepancies on trivial matters not touching the core of the matter cannot bring discredit to the prosecution–giving undue importance to such discrepancies would amount to adopting a hyper-technical approach— the Court while appreciating the evidence, should not attach much significance to minor discrepancies which do not shake the basic version. Khursheed Hussain Shah v. State & another 2022 SCR 334 (F) 2018 SCR 661 & 417 ref
