    Copy of Judgment

    Case Summary: 306/2024 State of Maharashtra v. Santosh Gangaram Pendor The court acquitted Santosh Gangaram Pendor of charges under Section 65(E) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act. Police seized 13 bottles (90ml each) of Rocket brand liquor from the accused's home on 12/05/2024. However, the prosecution's sole witness—the panchnama signatory—could not substantiate that the accused was illegally possessing the liquor for sale. The court found insufficient evidence beyond reasonable doubt and discharged the accused, canceling his bail bond.
