Final Orders / Judgements
Summary of Case 100768/2022 (Sessions Case 768/2022) The Additional Sessions Court, Kollam acquitted accused Shainu of illegal liquor possession charges under Section 55(g) of the Kerala Abkari Act. The court found the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt due to multiple procedural violations: failure to examine custody officials and the Thondy Clerk, delay in producing seized samples (6 days), collection of only one sample instead of mandatory two, unexplained 9-month delay in chemical analysis, and weak dock identification without corroboration. The accused's exclusive possession and conscious control over the contraband were also unestablished. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
