https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=259008 Section 50 of the NDPS Act applies only to personal search and not to search of a vehicle, bag, container or other article; where contraband is recovered from a vehicle, compliance with Section 50 is not required for the seizure to stand. In the same matter, the prosecution also failed to prove recovery and the accused's nexus with the vehicle beyond reasonable doubt because independent witnesses did not support the version, the defence evidence indicated the accused had been picked up from home, and ownership or possession of the vehicle was not established. The conviction and sentence were therefore set aside and the accused was acquitted. en-us Tue, 21 Apr 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 18:00:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=259008 Section 50 of the NDPS Act applies only to personal search and not to search of a vehicle, bag, container or other article; where contraband is recovered from a vehicle, compliance with Section 50 is not required for the seizure to stand.
