State of Maharashtra Through Jaysingpur Police Station vs Anil Shamrao Nalavade — 284/2026

Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Anil Shamrao Nalawade (284/2026) The Judicial Magistrate convicted Anil Shamrao Nalawade of being found in a drunken state in public on 17/12/2025 in violation of Section 75(A) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949. The accused voluntarily pleaded guilty after the court verified the plea's voluntariness and explained the maximum punishment and consequences. The court sentenced the accused to simple imprisonment till rising of court and imposed a fine of Rs. 500, with an alternative imprisonment of 2 days in default of fine payment. The magistrate exercised leniency considering the accused's poverty, status as sole family breadwinner, lack of prior criminal record, and the relatively minor nature of the offense, despite the prosecution's oral request for maximum sentencing.
