    Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Jayashri Pramod Minekar (417/2025) The court acquitted the respondent, Jayashri Pramod Minekar, of charges under the Maharashtra Excise Act, 1949, Section 65(E), finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. Although the prosecution presented witness testimony regarding seizure of alleged illicit liquor, a critical gap existed: a chemical analysis report could not definitively establish that the seized material was actually country-made liquor, leaving substantial doubt about the core allegation. The court concluded that without concrete forensic confirmation, the prosecution's circumstantial evidence was insufficient to secure conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
