    Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Bhauso Vishnu Palange (Case 12/2024) The court acquitted the accused, Bhauso Vishnu Palange, of charges under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, Section 65(E), for alleged illegal possession of country liquor with intent to sell. The prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, as critical procedural safeguards—including proper identification of the accused at the scene, documentation of the vehicle details used in the raid, and corroborating witness testimony—were inadequately proven. The court found insufficient evidence to conclusively link the accused to the seized alcohol and concluded the case lacked the necessary certainty for conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
