    Court Decision Summary The Special Court under the NDPS Act in Thanjavur acquitted Jayanthan of charges under Section 8(c) r/w 20(b)(ii)(B) of the NDPS Act 1985 for allegedly possessing 3.3 kg of ganja. The court found critical procedural breaches: the prior intimation document (Ex.P5) lacked date/time confirmation of receipt by superiors (violating Section 42(2)'s 72-hour requirement), the seizure mahazar contained crime number and section details before FIR registration (indicating backdating), and seized properties showed a 2+ month delay before court production without custody explanation—cumulatively creating reasonable doubt about the prosecution's case integrity.
