    Copy of Judgment

    Summary of Case 51/2024 State of Maharashtra v. Kundan Santosh Kambale – The court acquitted the accused of charges under Section 65(E) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, finding insufficient evidence to prove the alleged offense. Although 15 liters of illicit liquor was recovered from the accused's residence, the prosecution failed to establish a direct connection between the accused and the recovered substance, as the crucial witness (sample custodian) was not examined and chemical analysis reports lacked proper corroboration. The court held that mere recovery without proving the accused's involvement does not constitute a valid conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
