NDPS Act Section 50 | Re-testing of Contraband Permitted Only in Exceptional Circumstances Within 15 Days of Chemical Report: HP HC
The Himachal Pradesh High Court has ruled that accused persons may seek re-testing of seized contraband under the NDPS Act only if they demonstrate exceptional circumstances and file the request within 15 days of receiving the forensic report. This sets a hard procedural boundary that overrides claims of false implication or delayed service, reinforcing evidentiary discipline in drug cases.
