    Summary The court acquitted the accused Mukinda Suresh Salve of charges under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949, Section 65(D), finding that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused illegally possessed and intended to sell 5 liters of liquor. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps: no independent witness was examined, no chemical analysis report was submitted, and the seizure panchnama witnesses were not properly examined regarding the illegal nature of the seized liquor, resulting in reasonable doubt about the legitimacy of the seizure itself. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
