Copy of Judgment
The court acquitted Eknath Rambhau Chaudhari of charges under Section 65(E) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949, finding insufficient evidence to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The prosecution failed to establish that the accused was illegally possessing and selling nine bottles (90ml each) of country liquor on 21/01/2023, as the sole witness (panch Suraj Shankar Somuley) testified that no seizure was made in his presence and contradicted the prosecution narrative.
