The special requirements of Section 42 for entry into and search of a building, conveyance, or enclosed place were therefore inapplicable. The presence of a gazetted officer in the raiding party supported the legality of the search, and the absence of records about information allegedly sent to superior officers did not change that position. The acquittal based on alleged Section 42 non-compliance was unsustainable, and the trial court's conviction was restored. en-us Thu, 21 Jun 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 23:19:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169449 A vehicle intercepted on a public road in transit was searched in a public place, so Section 43 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1995 applied and not Section 42.
