    Court Summary The Special Court under the NDPS Act in Thanjavur acquitted the accused Vijaya of charges under Section 8(c) read with Section 20(b)(ii)(B) of the NDPS Act 1985, finding the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court identified critical procedural violations: the raiding officer did not send information to his superior within 72 hours as mandated by Section 42(2) of the NDPS Act, the search consent letter lacked date and time details violating Section 50, and seized materials were produced in court only after a 6-year delay with no explanation of custody chains.
