https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=365490 Section 50 of the NDPS Act did not apply where contraband was recovered from a bag carried by the accused on a scooter, because such recovery was not a personal search. The conviction also could not stand because the prosecution failed to prove, with reliable documentary evidence, production and custody of the seized contraband before the Magistrate and in the malkhana, leaving no satisfactory chain connecting the seizure to the forensic sample. In an appeal against acquittal, interference was unwarranted absent perversity in the trial court's view. The acquittal therefore should not have been reversed and the conviction was set aside. en-us Tue, 14 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 03 Mar 2020 11:19:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=365490 Section 50 of the NDPS Act did not apply where contraband was recovered from a bag carried by the accused on a scooter, because such recovery was not a personal search.
