IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
 
Spl. Leave Petn. (Crl.) No. 1698 of 1990 etc.
 
Decided On: 01.03.1994
 
Appellants: State of Punjab
Vs.
Respondent:Balbir Singh
if warrant is issued by magistrate who is not empowered by Act then search and arrest made will be illegal - search and seizure made by officer who is not empowered by Act is also illegal - non compliance with mandatory provisions would affect prosecution case and vitiate trial
