Summary: Director of Revenue Intelligence v. Shahid Khan (Crl.A. No. 608-611/2002) The Supreme Court dismissed the Director of Revenue Intelligence's appeals challenging the High Court's acquittal of respondents in a major narcotics case. The case involved a 1995 search that seized 163.47 kg of mathequalone tablets from carpet rolls and 186.75 kg from wooden packages across four Hyderabad locations, with charges under the NDPS Act. While the trial court convicted all accused, the High Court acquitted them primarily on grounds of non-compliance with Section 42(2) of the NDPS Act. The Supreme Court upheld the acquittals, finding total non-compliance: the investigating officer (PW.1) admitted he did not record the intelligence information in writing or forward it to superiors as mandated. The Court applied the Constitution Bench ruling in Kamal Singh v. State of Haryana (2009), holding that such total non-compliance vitiates convictions. The appeals were dismissed without addressing other contentions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
