In the cases of narcotic substances, recovery memo is a basic document, which should be prepared by the Seizing Officer, at the time of the recovered articles, containing a list thereof, in presence of two or more respectable witnesses and memo has to be signed by such witnesses---Main object of preparing the recovery memo at the spot and with signatures of the witnesses is to ensure that the recovery is effected in presence of the marginal witnesses, honestly and fairly, so as to exclude the possibility of false implication and fabrication---Once the recovery memo is prepared, the next step for the prosecution is to produce the same before the Trial Court, to prove the recovery of the material and preparation of the memo through the scribe and the marginal witnesses. 2022 SCMR 864 ZAFAR KHAN vs : State
