Where customs authorities had reason to believe that contraband was secreted inside the body, Section 103 of the Customs Act required prompt production before the nearest Magistrate unless there was a clear admission or voluntary submission within the statutory exception. On the facts, no such valid admission was shown, and the applicant remained in unauthorised custody from interception until formal arrest; this illegality weighed in favour of bail despite the NDPS Act's restrictive bail regime.
