In the judgment (supra) the Co-ordinate Bench of this Hon'ble High Court has further held as under:

"12. Careful perusal of aforesaid entry at Sr. No. 58 in the notification, as referred hereinabove, clearly suggests that Diphenoxylate and its salts and preparations, admixture, extracts or other substances containing any of these drugs are manufactured narcotic drugs, but save and except preparations of Diphenoxylate calculated as base, and a quantity of Atropine Sulphate equivalent to at least one percent of the dose of Diphenoxylate. Mr. Chandel, while referring to the report submitted by SFSL, contended that drugs namely Diphenoxylate hydrochloride has been found to be 2.5 mg per tablet and similarly quantity of Atropine 0.025 mg i.e. 1% of dose of Diphenoxylate hydrochloride has been also found in each tablet, meaning thereby tablet namely 'lomotil' having Diphenoxylate hydrochloride 2.5 mg does with 0.025 mg of Atropine sulphate does not fall under the definition of manufactured narcotic drugs and as such, does not come under the preview of NDPS Act.

certainly suggest that Diphenoxylate hydrochloride and its slats and reparation and admixture, extracts or other substances containing any of these drugs are to be treated as manufactured narcotic drugs save and except preparations of diphenoxylate calculated as base, and a quantity of Atropine sulphate equivalent to at least one percent of the dose of Diphenoxylate.
