Mumbai: Special NDPS Court Acquits 2 In 1.27-Kg Heroin Case Over Procedural Lapses In Sampling

The Special NDPS Court in Mumbai acquitted Saraswati Parma Naidu and Raju Mudliar in a 1.27-kg heroin case due to procedural lapses in sampling under the NDPS Act.

The court ruled that the FSL report was inadmissible because samples were not sent to a magistrate for inventory and sampling as required by Section 52A of the NDPS Act.

The court also found that the arrests of Naidu and Mudliar were not connected due to a gap of several months, and Mudliar's identity as the supplier was questioned.
