    Summary of Case 142/2020 Case: Excise Police Station v. Bhagya Court: Civil Judge and First Class Judicial Magistrate Court, Aluru, Karnataka Decision Date: April 4, 2026 Decision: The court acquitted the respondent Bhagya of charges under the Karnataka Excise Act Sections 14 and 32(1). The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the respondent possessed 26 tetra packs of whiskey for illegal sale. The court found critical gaps in the investigation—only official witnesses testified while no independent witnesses were examined, circumstantial evidence was weak, and the chain of custody of seized materials was inadequately established. The respondent's bail bond was cancelled. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
