    Case Summary The Additional Chief Judge of Ahmednagar acquitted Kumar Dadabhaau Falke of charges under Section 65(E)(F) of the Mumbai Liquor Ban Act, finding that the prosecution failed to provide chemical analysis reports of seized substances and did not record statements from key witnesses (the second panch and excise officer), creating reasonable doubt about the alleged illegal sale of 300 liters of raw syrup and 35 liters of country liquor. The court applied the principle of benefit of doubt in favor of the accused and ordered his release with a personal bond of Rs. 15,000 for six months.
