https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=458341 Bombay HC granted bail to accused in NDPS case despite narcotic substance seizure from co-accused. Court found non-compliance with Section 50 NDPS Act as officials failed to inform accused of right to be searched before Magistrate/Gazetted officer. Significant delay between seizure (October 2021) and inventory certification (December 2021) raised concerns. Prima facie discrepancy existed between seized contraband description (white powder) and CFSL analysis sample (brown powder), creating uncertainty about sample identity. Accused incarcerated for 2.5 years with unlikely trial conclusion within reasonable time. No criminal antecedents indicated low flight risk. Bail granted considering procedural violations and evidentiary discrepancies. en-us Tue, 07 May 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 22 Oct 2024 20:29:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=458341 Bombay HC granted bail to accused in NDPS case despite narcotic substance seizure from co-accused.
