State of Maharashtra Through Jaysingpur Police Station vs Sahil Jhakir KaJhi — 708/2025

Case Summary: 708/2025 State of Maharashtra v. Sahil Jhakir KaJhi The Jaysingpur Police Station charged Sahil Jhakir KaJhi under the Maharashtra Gambling Act, Section 12(a), for allegedly operating an illegal gambling operation (Kalyan Matka) and accepting money from the public on February 25, 2025. The prosecution relied solely on one witness (a panchnama witness) who could not substantiate the charges with credible evidence. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish the key allegations—that the accused was collecting money from people and distributing gambling slips—beyond the seized materials, which were not independently corroborated. The court acquitted the accused of all charges, holding the prosecution's evidence insufficient and not supported by competent witness testimony.
