    Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Ashish Nandkumar Talekar (37/2021) Decision: Accused Ashish Nandkumar Talekar was acquitted of charges under sections 8(c) and 20(b) of the NDPS Act, 1985, for possession of 8.4 kg ganja. The court found critical procedural violations including non-compliance with mandatory sections 50, 52A, and 57 of the NDPS Act—specifically, only partial compliance with Section 50 (informing accused of search rights), failure to prepare inventory before a magistrate, improper sample collection at seizure site rather than before magistrate, and no report filed to superior within 48 hours. The court held that such violations created reasonable doubt, rendering the chemical analysis report unreliable.
