    Summary The District Court of Chandauli acquitted accused Kaushal Prajapati of charges under Sections 8/21/22 of the NDPS Act, finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical procedural violations including non-compliance with Sections 50, 52, 55, and 57 of the NDPS Act; lack of independent public witnesses; missing forensic report from the laboratory; and absence of proper chain of custody documentation for the seized 240 grams of diazepam powder, rendering the prosecution's evidence unreliable and the arrest legally questionable.
