Judgment

Summary The Senior Civil Judge of Harapanahalli acquitted Sri Kambali Venkatesh of charges under Sections 32 and 34 of the Karnataka Excise Act 1965 for illegal liquor possession and sale. The court found that while official witnesses supported the prosecution's case, the independent pancha witnesses (required to verify seizures) turned hostile and denied participating in the raid, creating reasonable doubt about whether the liquor was actually recovered from the accused's possession. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
