Final Orders / Judgements
The court acquitted defendant Nagaraja of charges under Karnataka Excise Act Sections 13, 14, and 34, finding the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The judge noted that the prosecution called only one witness who was the investigating officer, failed to present corroborating evidence, and did not adequately establish the alleged illegal possession and sale of liquor on 24.09.2001. The court applied the principle that benefit of doubt must go to the accused when the prosecution's evidence is insufficient. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
