Discussion
Which activity does not come under definition of "manufacture", in relation to narcotic drugs?
Answer: D
The activity that is not 'manufacture' is direct agricultural production.
Section 2(xi) of the NDPS Act defines manufacture as all processes, other than production, by which narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances may be obtained, including refining, transformation and the making of preparations. Production is defined separately, in section 2(xxiv), as the separation of opium, poppy straw, coca leaves or cannabis from the plants, which is the agricultural stage.
So options A, B and C are all expressly within the definition of manufacture, and only production is excluded.
