    Judgment

    Summary of Case 1340/2023 The court acquitted Basavaraj S/o Siddappa Walikar of charges under the Karnataka Excise Act Sections 32 and 34 (illegal possession and sale of alcohol) due to insufficient evidence. Although the prosecution presented witness testimony and physical evidence regarding the seizure of Old Tower whisky bottles and rupees on September 16, 2022, the court found the prosecution failed to conclusively prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt, applying the principle that the accused benefits from doubt in criminal cases.
