Case Summary The Additional Sessions Judge at Buldhana acquitted the appellant of drunk driving charges under Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act, finding that the prosecution failed to provide mandatory chemical evidence (breath or blood test) to prove the offense. Although the trial court had convicted him based on circumstantial observations by police officers, the appellate court emphasized that strict proof through proper testing procedures is legally necessary for such convictions. The court set aside the conviction, ordered return of the Rs. 10,000 fine, and acquitted the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
