Experts Panel Sought for New Psychoactive Substances Identification

A key demand of the petition is the formation of a specialist committee to identify new psychoactive substances (NPS) and update the official list promptly. It further requests the creation of special courts under sections 36 and 36A of the NDPS Act, together with a common SOP for timely investigation and trial of drug‑related cases. The petition also highlights the need for mandatory digital recording of searches, seizures, sampling and inventory preparation.
