State of Maharashtra vs Chunnilal Gotu Nihal — 243/2025

The court discharged the accused Chunnilal in a liquor prohibition case (Section 65-e of Bombay Prohibition Act) after finding that despite multiple summons and bench warrants issued over a long period, the prosecution failed to secure his presence and the Chemist's Analysis report of seized liquor was missing from the record. The proceedings were stopped under Section 281 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and the 12 liters of seized hand-made liquor was ordered to be sent to the Excise Department for disposal after the appeal period.
