    Order on ExhibitView PDF

    The court discharged accused Sominath Shankar Pandhare from gambling charges under Section 12(a) of the Maharashtra Prevention of Gambling Act, 1887, invoking Section 258 of the CrPC. The court found that despite years of proceedings and multiple efforts, the accused's presence could not be secured, making further trial futile. The seized cash was ordered credited to the Government after the appeal period, with other worthless seized items to be destroyed.
