    Copy of Judgment

    Court Decision 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 5 liters of illicit liquor were in his possession. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps: no independent witnesses testified, only panchas (witnesses to seizure) were examined without supporting the prosecution, no chemical analysis report was filed, and no questions about illegal sale were posed to witnesses. The court concluded the prosecution did not discharge its burden of proof. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
