State of Maharashtra vs Amol S/o Narayan Buchade. — 4/2026

The court discharged the accused Amol in a prohibition case (Section 65(a)(e) of Maharashtra Prohibition Act) after finding critical procedural failures: the investigating officer failed to file chemical analysis reports and did not name the evidence receiver or carrier in witness list, breaking the chain of custody. The court stopped proceedings under Section 281 BNSS, citing that the case was pending over two years with no possibility of proving charges, and invoked its discretion to reduce criminal case pendency.
