Summary

The State sought reversal of the acquittal, contending that the prosecution had proved the recovery and compliance with the NDPS safeguards. HELD- Material contradictions, doubtful chain of custody, inadequate proof of Sections 42/50 compliance and failure to establish conscious possession cumulatively created reasonable doubt. The Trial Court’s view was plausible and legally sustainable; hence no interference was warranted. Appeal dismissed; acquittal affirmed.
