A person is falsely implicated by Narcotic Control Bureau {NCB}in a Conspiracy case involving commercial quantity for procurement of Contraband Drugs.
The Said accused is suffering from Paranoid Schizophrenia [unsound mind] since 2008 as per medical records. the incident has taken place in the month of JULY 2009
there are 2 issues
Is IPC {general exceptions}applicable to NDPS ACT u/s 84 of IPC which says that nothing is an offence for a person of unsound mind.
As far as i have done my research IPC is applicable to all the laws except for special law and Local Law.
NDPS is not a special law, the same is obtained under RTI.
I want to make sure that section 84 is applicable to NDPS ACT and not just for offences under IPC.
