Case Summary: 137/2019 Court Decision: All four accused (Santosh Ramayya Mudaswar, Mahesh Madhukar Bhimojwar, Tirupati Rajayya Bomanwar, and Prakash Lakshman Singner) were acquitted and discharged of charges under Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949, Sections 65(a) and 83. Key Reasoning: The prosecution failed to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt despite seizing 80 bottles of Imperial Blue liquor. Critical evidentiary gaps included: the investigating officer's statement was not recorded in court; the only panch witness admitted to being a police station computer operator, compromising his credibility; and no independent witness corroborated the seizure. Without the investigating officer's testimony and relying solely on police and interested witnesses, the court found insufficient credible evidence to prove the offense, warranting acquittal under CrPC Section 255(1). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
