Kadir Khan vs State Of U.P. on 25 July, 2023

4. He places reliance on an order passed by this Court in Crl. Misc. Bail Application No. 13590 of 2021 (Wahid Ali Vs. N.C.B.), wherein, in similar circumstances, the Gazetted Officer had not affixed his signature. This Court considered the mandate of Section 50 and 51 NDPS and Section 100 Cr.P.C. and found that not affixing signature clearly vitiates the search and renders the entire prosecution story suspicious. He further argues that the drawing of 10 gms. of sample was clearly not in terms of the mandate of the circulars prescribing the manner in which the samples are withdrawn. He specifically relies upon Circular No. 1 of 1988 to argue that the manner of one sample and the quantity of samples are clearly prescribed have not been followed. He further argues that the FSL in its report which is contained in annexure no. 5 to the bail application records that the 10 gms. sample sent by the raiding party was returned by the FSL by observing that they should send sample of 24 gms. It is also recorded that the signatures affixed were illegible. It is argued in response to the said letter of the FSL, fresh samples of 24 gms. were sent after about one month on 14.07.2023 as is clear from perusal of annexure-6. He argues that the samples of 24 gms. were neither drawn in the presence of applicant nor in the presence of any Magistrate and thus, the manner of sampling is not only contrary to the circulars, it is also renders the same to be suspect. In light of the said, he argued that applicant should be enlarged on bail, moreso, when recovery has been affected from the applicant.
