State Excise Department Malkapur vs Mohan Dhyaneshwar Sambare Advocate - Ingle V.G — 642/2023

Summary The First Class Judicial Magistrate Court at Malkapur acquitted accused Mohan Rameshwar Sanbare of charges under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, Section 65(a) and (e) due to insufficient evidence. The court found critical deficiencies in the prosecution's case, including the absence of a chemical analysis report to confirm the seized items (10 foreign liquor bottles and 27 plastic bottles of local alcohol) were actually alcohol, and the compromised integrity of the panchnama (formal seizure document) as one witness could not credibly establish its authenticity. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
