Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The court acquitted the accused, Ramesh Raghunath Shende, of charges under the Maharashtra Excise Act, 1949 (Sections 65(E) and 77(A)), finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical gaps in evidence, including insufficient witness testimony regarding the seizure of liquor bottles, lack of proper chain of custody documentation, and absence of corroborating proof linking the recovered items to the accused's possession. The seized bottles were ordered to be forwarded to the State Excise Department for disposal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
