S.L. 101.2 Art. 15Delivery and supply of drugs.

(1) No person shall deliver any of the drugs to any person not licensed or otherwise authorised to be in possession of the drugs who purports to be sent by or on behalf of a person so licensed or authorised unless such person produces an authority in ink or in other indelible manner, signed by the person so licensed or authorised, to receive the drug on his behalf, and unless the person supplying the drug is satisfied that the authority is genuine. This rule shall not be deemed to apply to medicines dispensed in accordance with the provisions of these Rules.

(2) A person to whom a drug is lawfully delivered in the circumstances mentioned in sub-rule (1) shall be deemed to be a person authorised to be in possession thereof, but for such period only as in the circumstances of the case is reasonably sufficient to enable the delivery to the recipient to be effected.
