Summary The court acquitted both accused persons (Abhijit Namdeo Kamte and Shankar Ishwara Gosavi) of charges under the Maharashtra Gambling Prohibition Act, Section 12-A, finding that the prosecution failed to sufficiently prove the gambling offense beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps, including lack of credible eyewitness testimony, inadequate documentation of seized materials, and failure to establish the accused's involvement in conducting gambling operations. The seized cash of Rs. 2,130 is to be deposited with the government, and the seized gambling materials are to be destroyed after the appeal period expires. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
