A machine sealed in any case registered under the PCPNDT Act can not be released on supratnamaa
A machine sealed in any case registered under the PCPNDT Act
cannot be directed to be opened. In fact, it is the duty of the Investigating
Officer as also the Magistrate to seal the machine and to see that it has been
sealed promptly
The offence under the PCPNDT Act is committed essentially with
the use of USG machine. That is the most important ingredient in the crime.
The crime is essentially repetitive in nature. The prevention of the crime is
best achieved by sealing the machine. Hence the sealing of the machine is an
important act in investigation of such crime.
