    Summary of Case 248/2022 The First Class Judicial Magistrate at Aheri acquitted accused Sandip Manohar Madavi of charges under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949 (Section 65E), finding that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt. Although 30 liters of illicit liquor was allegedly seized from the accused's residence on 22.02.2022, the court noted critical evidentiary gaps: the investigating officer's testimony was not recorded, independent witnesses were not examined, and chemical analysis reports alone were insufficient to prove the recovered liquid was country liquor. The court held that without corroborating testimony and substantive evidence, the prosecution could not discharge its burden of proof, warranting the accused's acquittal under CrPC Section 255(1).
