In the instant case on information received by PW-2 who communicated the same to PW-1, the witnesses went to the bus stand where the person carrying the drug was expected to arrive. The appellant was arrested at the bus stand. The appellant was, therefore, not searched and arrested in exercise of power of arrest, search, and seizure under Section 42 of the Act. Section 42 applies to a case where the officers concerned on information received, or having reason to believe from personal knowledge that any offence has been committed in relation to any drug or psychotropic substance etc. and which is kept or concealed in any building, conveyance or enclosed place may, between sunrise and sunset, enter into and search any building, conveyance or place. They are also vested with the power of search and seizure and authorized to arrest the person whom they have reason to believe to have coted any offence punishable under this Act. The facts of this case disclose that the arrest and seizure took place at the bus stand and not in any building, conveyance or enclosed place. The High Court has rightly held that the case was covered by Section 43 of the Act which does not require the information of any person to be taken down in writing. Similarly, there is no requirement that the concerned officer must send a copy thereof to his immediate official superior within 72 hours. We, therefore, hold in agreement with the High Court that Section 42 of the Act was not attracted to the facts of the case. It is, therefore, unnecessary to burden this judgment with decisions cited at the Bar regarding the effect of non-compliance with Section 42 of the Act. orZeku izdj.k dh ifjfLFkfr;ka ftlds rgr eksVj lkbfdy dh pkyw o ifjogu dh fujUrjrk dh fLFkfr esa o fo’ks”k rkSj ij eksVj lkbfdy dh fMDdh esa j[kh vQhe ds dze esa Lokid vkS”kf/k ,oa eu%izHkkoh inkFkZ vf/kfu;e] 1985 dh /kkjk 43 ykxw gksuk ekuh tk ldrh gS] tks vfody :i ls fuEu izdkj gS%& 43. orZeku izdj.k dh ifjfLFkfr;ka ftlds rgr eksVj lkbfdy dh pkyw o ifjogu dh fujUrjrk dh fLFkfr esa o fo’ks”k rkSj ij eksVj lkbfdy dh fMDdh esa j[kh vQhe ds dze esa Lokid vkS”kf/k ,oa eu%izHkkoh inkFkZ vf/kfu;e] 1985 dh /kkjk 43 ykxw gksuk ekuh tk ldrh gS] tks vfody :i ls fuEu izdkj gS%& 43.

Conditions under which search of persons shall be conducted:- (1) When any officer duly authorised under Section 42 is about to search any person under the provisions of Section 42 or Section 43, he shall, if such person as requires, take such person without unnecessary delay to the nearest Gazetted Officer of any of the departments mentioned in Section 42 or to the nearest Magistrate. (2) If such requisition is made, the officer may detain the person until he can bring him before the Gazetted Officer or the Magistrate referred to in sub-section (1). (3) The Gazetted Officer or the Magistrate before whom any such person is brought shall, if he sees no reasonable ground for search, forthwith discharge the person but otherwise shall direct that search be made. (4) No female shall be searched by anyone excepting a female. (5) When an officer duly authorised under section 42 has reason to believe that it is not possible to take the person to be searched to the nearest Gazetted Officer or Magistrate without the possibility of the person to be searched parting with possession of any narcotic drug or psychotropic substance, or controlled substance or article or document, he may, instead of taking such person to the nearest Gazetted Officer or Magistrate, proceed to search the person as provided under section 100 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. (6) After a search is conducted under sub-section (5), the officer shall record the reasons for such belief which necessitated such search and within seventy-two hours send a copy thereof to his immediate official superior. mijksDr dkuwuh izko/kku ds voyksdu ls izFke n`”V;k ;g izdV gksrk gS fd ;fn fdlh O;fDr dh eknd inkFkZ ds dze esa mlds ‘kjhj ls O;fDrxr :i ls ryk’kh fy;k tkuk vko’;d gS mlh fLFkfr o voLFkk esa /kkjk 50 ds izko/kku ykxw gksrs gSA fdlh O;fDr ds ikl ;fn ‘kjhj ds Hkkx ds vfrfjDr vU; dksbZ oLrq] lkexzh ;k ifjogu ¼eksVj lkbfdy dh fMDdh bR;kfn½ ls ;fn dksbZ eknd inkFkZ cjken gks rks ml fLFkfr esa /kkjk 50 dh ikyuk djuk vko’;d ugha gSA bl lEcU/k esa jfoUnzu mQZ tkWu cuke lqijhMs.V vkWQ dLVEl ¼mijksDr½ fofu’p; ds iSjk la[;k 8 o 9 esa ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk fuEu fl}kUr izfrikfnr fd;k x;k gS%& 8. It was then submitted on behalf of the appellant that the provisions of Section 50 of the Act which are mandatory in nature were not also complied with. Reliance was placed on decision of this Court reported in Namdi Francis Nwazor vs. Union of India and Another, (1998) 8 SCC 534 . Learned Additional Solicitor General appearing on behalf of the Union of India submitted that the aforesaid judgment of this Court has been explained in a subsequent judgment of this Court in State of Himachal Pradesh vs. Pawan Kumar, 2005 Cri. LJ 2208 in which it has been held that the observations relied upon in Namdi Francis Nwazor were obiter on this point. In the later judgment it has been held as under:- A bag, briefcase or any such article or container, etc. can, under no circumstances, be treated as body of a human being. They are given a separate name and are identifiable as such. They cannot even remotely be treated to be part of the body of a human being. Depending upon the physical capacity of a person, he may carry any number of items like a bag, a briefcase, a suitcase, a tin box, a thaila, a jhola, a gathri, a holdall, a carton etc. of varying size, dimension or weight. However, while carrying or moving along with them, some extra effort or energy would be required. They would have to be carried either by the hand or hung on the shoulder or back or placed on the head. In common parlance it would be said that a person is carrying a particular article, specifying the manner in which it was carried like hand, shoulder, back or head etc. Therefore, it is not possible to include these articles within the ambit of the word person occurring in Section 50 of the Act. 9. In the instant case, it is not in dispute that the appellant was carrying a plastic bag in which the drug in question duly packed had been kept. Section 50 is, therefore, not attracted to the facts of this case. ;ksX; vfHkHkk”kd vihykFkhZx.k }kjk izLrqr xqjt.V flag mQZ turk cuke iatkc jkT; ¼mijksDr½ okys fofu’p; ds iSjk 13 esa ekuuh; mPpre U;k;ky; }kjk fuEu fl}kUr izfrikfnr fd;k x;k gS%& 13.

When we refer to the decision of this Court in Balbir Singh (supra) what has been held therein as a broad principle in paragraph 25(1) is as under:- 25. The questions considered above arise frequently before the trial courts. Therefore we find it necessary to set out our conclusions which are as follows:- (1) If a police officer without any prior information as contemplated under the provisions of the NDPS Act makes a search or arrests a person in the normal course of investigation into an offence or suspected offences as provided under the provisions of Code of Criminal Procedure and when such search is completed at that stage Section 50 of the NDPS Act would not be attracted and the question of complying with the requirements thereunder would not arise. If during such search or arrest there is a chance recovery of any narcotic drug or psychotropic substance then the police officer, who is not empowered, should inform the empowered officer who should thereafter proceed in accordance with the provisions of the NDPS Act. If he happens to be an empowered officer also, then from that stage onwards, he should carry out the investigation in accordance with the other provisions of the NDPS Act. blh izdkj fot;flag pUnqHkk tM+stk ¼mijksDr½ fofu’p; ds iSjk la[;k 21 esa fuEukuqlkj foospu fd;k x;k gS%& 16. At this juncture, we must state that the issue before us in terms of the referral order is not about the applicability of Section 50 of the NDPS Act per se but is confined to the scope and width of the expression if the person to be searched so requires as figuring in sub-section (1) of the said Section. Therefore, we deem it unnecessary to evaluate the submissions made by the learned Counsel regarding the applicability of the rigours of Section 50 of the NDPS Act when a search of the suspect is conducted by an officer empowered under Section 41 of the said Act.

Though a portion of the contraband (opium) was recovered from the vehicle for which Section 50 is not applicable, if we exclude the quantity recovered from the vehicle, the remaining would not come within the mischief of commercial quantity for imposition of such conviction and sentence. Taking note of length of period in prison and continuing as on date and in view of non-compliance of sub-section 1 of Section 50 in respect of recovery of contraband from the appellants, we set aside the conviction and sentence imposed on them by the trial Court and confirmed by the High Court. blh izdkj fnyhi o vU; cuke e/;izns’k jkT; ¼mijksDr½ fofu’p; ds iSjk 16 esa fuEu fl}kUr izfrikfnr fd;k x;k gS%& 16.

It was not done.
