Q.2. On receipt of search information, the raiding party consisting of two customs officials, one police officer and one independent witness, arrest two accused persons. A huge quantity of smuggled goods worth Rs. 15 lakhs is made. One accused got recovered a part of such goods from a toney at the seashore, while the other accused got recovered such articles from an island which had to be reached through a mechanical vessel. During trial, one of the arguments raised is that provisions of section 100(4) Cr.P.C. regarding joining two or more independent and respectable inhabitants of the locality, have not been complied with, and therefore, recovery is illegal. The prosecution evidence establishes that the independent witness joined in the raiding party was not a resident of the place from where the recovery was made. Decide the objection, giving reasons, keeping in mind the fact and circumstances of the case. [DJS 1982]
