    Case 40/2025 Summary The court acquitted Umaji Devidas Gedam of charges under Section 65(E) of the Maharashtra Excise Act for allegedly possessing 65 grams of Rocket Santa brand bottles (90 ml each) for illegal sale. The court found that the government's witnesses failed to establish the offense convincingly—their testimony did not confirm that the accused was found with contraband liquor for sale purposes, and the seizure panchanama evidence was deemed insufficient. Consequently, the accused's bail bond was cancelled and bail bond remitted; the seized liquor was ordered sent to the Excise Department, and a personal bond of ₹15,000 was imposed for appearance before the higher court.
