    Copy of Judgment

    Case Summary: 53/2025 Court Decision: The First Class Judicial Magistrate at Desaiganj acquitted both accused, Sanjay Shalikram Thakare and Roshan Motiram Bhaisare, of charges under Section 12(a) of the Maharashtra Gambling Prohibition Act. The prosecution failed to establish its case, as the two panch witnesses (Firoz Khobragarade and Avinash Ghutke) could not identify the accused or corroborate the prosecution's allegations regarding alleged gambling activities on 26/10/2023. Without credible witness testimony or documentary evidence linking the accused to the offense, the court found reasonable doubt and declared them not guilty.
