Report of Chemical Examiner-- if it not prepared and written according to the prescribed procedure and law, it can discarded by this court.

 There is no cavil to the proposition that a report of Chemical Examiner being an expert report has to be accepted as a whole but if it not prepared and written according to the prescribed procedure and law, it can discarded by this court. In the present case, it is not denied by the prosecution that the report is not on the prescribed paper. It is also not admitted by the prosecution that it had a seal/stamp over it. It appears that this report is prepared on the black and white photocopy of the format paper but signed by the Chemical Examiner, therefore, it is full of doubt.
