Copy of Judgment
Case Summary: 77/2022 Court Decision: The accused, Prashant Tolaram Meshram, was acquitted of charges under Section 65(E) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act. The prosecution failed to establish the offense beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: The court found critical gaps in the prosecution's evidence chain, including the absence of the complainant's testimony, lack of witness credibility (the sole witness contradicted the prosecution's account), and absence of proper chain of custody documentation for the chemical examination sample, making it impossible to prove the accused possessed illicit liquor for sale.
