The petitioner Sh. Lalhmingsanga filed a bail application before the Gauhati High Court (Aizawl Bench) in connection with an NDPS case registered by the Narcotics Control Bureau, arising from the seizure of 48.061 kg of crystal methamphetamine in Aizawl, Mizoram on 06.03.2025. The petitioner challenged his arrest on grounds of procedural violations, specifically: the arrest memo under Section 36 of the BNSS lacked the signature of any witness or respectable local person; the notice under Section 47 of the BNSS failed to communicate meaningful grounds of arrest beyond vague 'conscious involvement'; and the written notice to family members under Section 48 of the BNSS was dispatched only 14 days after arrest, well after remand orders had already been passed. The court found that the arrest memo violated Section 36 BNSS, the Section 47 notice amounted to total non-compliance as no substantive grounds were communicated, and the NCB's own affidavit admitted that only intimation of arrest (not grounds) was conveyed to the petitioner's wife by phone, constituting a gross violation of Section 48 BNSS. Relying on Supreme Court precedents including Vihaan Kumar v. State of Haryana and Mihir Rajesh Shah v. State of Maharashtra, the court found multiple statutory and constitutional violations under Articles 21 and 22.
