    Case Summary: The State of Maharashtra v. Devrao Rambhau Bodele (Case 32/2021) The court acquitted the defendant Devrao Rambhau Bodele of charges under Section 65(E) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act. The prosecution failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant possessed 15 bottles of illicit country liquor (90ml each) for sale. Key evidentiary gaps included: witness testimonies showing insufficient procedural compliance during the seizure, lack of proper chain of custody documentation for chemical analysis samples, and the prosecution's failure to examine the police officer or the evidence custodian regarding sample handling. The court found the prosecution's evidence insufficient and unreliable to secure conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
