    Court Decision Summary The court acquitted both accused persons of charges under Sections 32 and 34 of the Karnataka Excise Act and Section 273 of the IPC for alleged illegal liquor possession and sale. The key reasoning: the complainant failed to appear despite 20 summons, both pancha witnesses turned hostile and refused to recognize the accused or confiscated materials, and the FIR was registered post-facto after investigation—violating CrPC provisions and undermining the nexus between the accused and alleged illegal liquor beyond reasonable doubt.
