The plea of non-compliance with Section 42(2) was rejected because the record showed that the required information had been reduced to writing and transmitted to a superior officer. Compliance with Sections 55 and 57 was also upheld on the evidence, as the seized articles were kept in safe custody, sent for chemical examination, and the seizure and arrest were reported. The sentence was not reduced, as the quantity recovered was substantial and no interference was warranted. en-us Wed, 17 Dec 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 16:07:03 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=197478 Section 50 of the NDPS Act applies only to personal search and not to search of bags or suitcases, so the protection was unavailable where contraband was recovered from a suitcase and bag.
