For mixtures or preparations covered by the relevant notification entry, the exact drug content must be established by purity test before the quantity category can be fixed; absent such testing, the contraband is to be treated as small quantity. Where the substance is the drug simplicitor and not a mixture, no purity test is required and the entire seized weight is taken into account to decide whether it is small, intermediate, or commercial quantity. en-us Fri, 23 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 16:38:22 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=199002 Under the NDPS Act, quantity determination depends on whether the seized substance is a mixture or preparation, or the narcotic drug/psychotropic substance itself.
