State of Maharashtra through Excise Inspector Gondia vs Shyamrao Shriram Zade — 1338/2024

The court dismissed a 3-year-old liquor prohibition case against Shyamrao under section 65-E of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, stopping proceedings under section 258 CrPC. The dismissal was based on the prosecution's failure to secure the accused's presence despite ineffective efforts, the accused's untraceable address, and the missing Chemical Analysis report critical to the case. Seized liquor and articles were ordered disposed of, with vehicles/mobiles either returned or auctioned after the appeal period.
