JUDEGEMENT

Summary The 3rd Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Court in Padra acquitted the accused of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(A) due to insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that illegal liquor (3 liters, ₹600 value) was recovered from the accused's possession, as the witness testimony lacked corroboration and no FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) report was produced. The court granted the accused relief under the Indian Penal Code Section 271(1) and ordered release of the accused on bail already deposited. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
