State of Gujarat, 1969 Cri LJ 695 (Guj), as also the ruling in Narayan Krishnaji v. State" of Maharashtra, was of the opinion that the period of seven days provided under Rule 4 (2) of the rules was prescribed rich a view to avoid- delay in forwarding the sample and that it would not affect the result of the test even if it was despatched later, and therefore, held, in substance, that this part of the rule is directory and, not mandatory in character.
