    Summary: The Exclusive Special Excise Judge Court in Katihar acquitted Md. Halim Ansari of charges under Section 37 of the Bihar Prohibition & Excise Act on April 9, 2026. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, noting that only one prosecution witness was examined and the witness himself admitted that the breath analyzer machine could retain old readings and malfunction, creating doubt about the reliability of the 41mg/100ml alcohol reading against the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
