The State of Maharashtra vs Kalyan Dilip Patil — 121/2025

Summary The court acquitted defendant Kalyan Dilip Patiil of charges under Maharashtra Prohibition Act Section 65(E) for illegal possession and sale of foreign and domestic liquor, finding insufficient credible evidence to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The key reasoning was that while police seizure of alcohol bottles was documented, critical evidentiary gaps—including missing chemical analysis reports and inconsistencies in witness testimony—created reasonable doubt about whether the seized bottles were the subject matter of the alleged crime, making conviction unjustifiable.
