Act confers right upon the accused to appraise about his right to search in the

presence of the Gazetted Officer. The secret information was received a day before the incident. Hence, it was possible to comply with Section 42 of the N.D.P.S. Act. Since, the mandatory provisions of the N.D.P.S. Act have not been complied with, the applicant deserves bail on certain conditions :
