    CASE SUMMARY: 9488/2019 The court acquitted respondent Akhilesh @ Navin Ramshankar Kashyap of liquor possession charges under the Prohibition Act, finding the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. Key deficiencies included: panchas (witnesses) failed to support the prosecution, no independent witnesses were examined, and critical procedural requirements—such as evidence of sealed bottles with manufacturer labels—were not established. The court found material contradictions in witness testimony and ruled that conviction cannot rest solely on police evidence when mandatory procedural safeguards are absent. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
