2021 (7) TMI 1207 - HC - Indian LawsSmuggling - phensedyl codeine cough syrup 100 ml bottle - main argument raised by the Ld. counsel for the petitioner is that there is infirmity in drawing of the samples and the proper procedure has not been followed by the NCB (respondent) at the stage of drawing the samples - HELD THAT:- In the instant case, as per the prosecution 200 bottles of phensedyl codeine cough syrup were recovered. The seized bottles were of the same size and were having batch numbers on them i.e. batch No. PHB7217 & PHB7236. Therefore, in these circumstances, since these were cough syrup bottles which are ordinarily available in the market for treating cold and cough, cannot be said to have different concentration of medicines as they are prepared under the same formulation as per their batch numbers. Therefore, there is no infirmity in the manner in which the sample has been drawn. As far as the non compliance of mandatory provisions of Section 50 of the NDPS Act is concerned, the same is a matter of trial. The application lacks merits and the same is, therefore dismissed.
