JUDEGEMENT

Summary The 5th Additional Sessions Judge dismissed the applicant's Criminal Revision Application seeking release of his dumper truck seized in a Prohibition Act case involving 1,026 liters of illicit liquor. The court upheld the lower court's rejection of the release petition, holding that under Section 98(2) of the Prohibition Act and Rule 9 (amended in 2019 to prescribe 20 liters as the threshold), vehicles used to transport liquor exceeding the prescribed quantity are liable for confiscation and cannot be released pending trial, with only the High Court possessing writ jurisdiction under Article 226 to override this statutory bar. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
