For holders of licences to manufacture manufactured drugs, psychotropic substances or controlled substances under the NDPS framework, what minimum officer rank is required by the first proviso to section 42(1)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The first proviso to section 42(1) concerns holders of licences for manufacture of manufactured drugs, psychotropic substances or controlled substances under the Act or its rules or orders. For those holders, the officer must be at least a Sub-Inspector. It does not impose that special floor merely because someone holds any kind of licence.
