Judgment text as reported

NIAZ AHMED MIRANI VS State S. 103---Search to be made in presence of witnesses---Purpose and object--- Purpose of associating independent mashirs of the locality is to ensure the transparency of the recovery process---Needless to emphasize that in view of provisions of S. 103, Cr.P.C., the officials making searches, recoveries and arrests, are reasonably required to associate private persons, more particularly in those cases in which presence of private persons is admitted, so as to lend credence to such actions, and to restore public confidence---Said aspect of the matter must not be lost sight of indiscriminately and without exception---Only cursory efforts are not enough merely in order to fulfill casual formality, rather serious and genuine attempts should be made to associate private mashirs of the locality.
