Headnote | Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 – s.50 – Applicability of s.50 in a case where there is personal search also – In the instant case, appellant and another accused carrying a bag in their hands were intercepted by police party – Contraband goods weighing 6 kg 300 gms were recovered from the bag – Conviction of appellant under s.18 by courts below – Challenged on the ground that s.50 was not complied; that DSP-Gazetted Officer in whose presence the search as alleged by the prosecution was conducted was present at the same time in another case; that the contraband allegedly 6 kgs 300 gms was not produced before the court and that prosecution has not associated any independent prosecution witness in support of its case – Held: This is not a case where anything was recovered on the alleged personal search – The recovery was effected from the bag for which law is settled that compliance with s.50 of the Act is not required – The contention regarding non-production of the contraband was not taken before the trial Court – This contention as such was taken before the High Court – This is a case where the sample was produced – There was no argument relating to the tampering with the seal – Courts below reposed confidence in the deposition of the prosecution witnesses – Thus, in the light of this, a case was not made for overturning the verdict of guilt returned against the appellant – In the circumstances, even though there appeared doubt as to whether the DSP was present, upon being called by PW7 having regard to the testimony of the DSP in the other case, in view of the fact that the contraband articles were in fact recovered upon search of the bag, and bearing in mind the view taken in Baljinder Singh, the case of the appellant is rejected. |

NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources.
