1996 (2) TMI 530 - SC - CustomsWhether the alleged non-compliance of Section 50 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act 1985 hereinafter called the Act was fatal to the prosecution? Held that - In the special facts of this case where the bag containing the incriminating article though belonging to the petitioner was out of his reach after it was checked in and was nowhere near the place where he was apprehended and searched although it was called for from the aircraft luggage compartment and brought to the customs counter for examination. Therefore the question of compliance with Section 50 does not arise. The High Court was therefore right in the view that it took. Appeal dismissed.
