    Case Summary: 35/2024 Court Decision: The accused, Satish Aliyas Satishgowda, was acquitted of all charges under the Karnataka Excise Act (Sections 11, 13, 14, 15, 32(1), 38(A), and 43) for allegedly illegally transporting 50 tetra packets of whiskey on May 1, 2023. The court found the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt due to critical evidentiary gaps: two key independent witnesses turned hostile, only 30 of the alleged 50 seized packets were sent for chemical examination with no explanation for the remaining 20, and a five-day unexplained delay occurred before samples reached the forensic laboratory. The white plastic bag was destroyed without documentation, and the seizure mahazar itself lacked credible corroboration. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
