State Of Rajasthan vs Shanti

The Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of the respondents under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, specifically citing violations of Section 42(2) during the search and seizure process. The Court clarified that Section 50 applies only in cases of personal search, which was not relevant in this case as the opium was seized from a bag. The Court found no merit in the State's appeal, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
