    Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Praful Vinod Pal (Case 430/2025) Court Decision (May 11, 2026) The court acquitted the accused Praful Vinod Pal of charges under Maharashtra Prohibition Act sections 65(a) and 98(k), finding insufficient evidence that he illegally transported foreign liquor. The prosecution failed to establish its case, as the five panch (witness) signatories did not support the prosecution's allegations, and the seized liquor could not be definitively proven to be contraband. The court noted that without credible corroborating testimony from the panches and due to procedural deficiencies, the accused is entitled to acquittal. The bond was ordered to be cancelled, and the State directed to release any confiscated property to the accused after deducting applicable excise duties.
