Martaram Thavaraji vs State Of Gujarat on 23 July, 1999
12. Now taking into consideration the decision in case of T.P.RAZAAK V. STATE OF KERALA 1996 SUPREME COURT CASES (CRI.) 57, it is clear that Section 50 is held to be mandatory in cases where search is taken of a person on basis of prior information which was not the case in the facts of the instant case before this Court. It was also argued that because there is no mention in the FIR and Panchnama about the compliance of Section 50, deposition of Investigating Officer may not be accepted.
