https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=93287 Poppy husk was held to fall within the statutory expression "poppy straw" under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, because the definition covers all parts of the opium poppy after harvesting except the seeds. The Court distinguished Section 15, which concerns poppy straw, from Section 18, which deals with opium and opium poppy, and held that morphine content is not a relevant requirement for liability under Section 15. Possession of poppy husk was therefore treated as punishable under that provision, and the appeals failed. en-us Tue, 11 Apr 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 14:51:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=93287 Poppy husk was held to fall within the statutory expression "poppy straw" under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, because the definition covers all parts of the opium poppy after harvesting except the seeds.
