Judgment

Summary The court acquitted the 1st accused under the Karnataka Excise Act Sections 32 and 38(M), finding that the prosecution failed to prove the illegal transportation of alcohol and beer beyond reasonable doubt. Although excise officers recovered whisky tetra packs, beer tins, and bottles from a motorcycle on February 9, 2018, the court noted critical gaps in evidence: key eyewitnesses contradicted the prosecution's case, proper chain of custody procedures weren't followed, and corroborating testimony from neighboring residents was absent. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
