    Court Decision Summary The First Class Judicial Magistrate at Dondaichi acquitted the accused Lakshmi Ganesh Garunge under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, Section 65(E), finding that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the prohibited liquor was recovered from the accused's possession. The court concluded that relying solely on the complainant's oral testimony without corroboration from the panchas (witnesses) and the chemical examination report was insufficient to establish the case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
