The State of Maharashtra Excise Department vs Rajendra Uttamrao Jagtap — 608/2025

Case Summary The court discharged accused Rajendra Uttamrao Jagtap from charges under Section 65(E) of the Bombay Prohibition Act and stopped proceedings under Section 258 CrPC. The court found that critical material evidence—the Chemical Analysis Report—was absent from the record, making it impossible to establish a prima facie case, and continuing proceedings would constitute abuse of court process. The court ordered refund of cash security, disposal of seized liquor, and cancellation of bail bond after the appeal period expires.
