State of Maharashtra vs Ranjit Dinkar Patre — 301/2025

The court discharged accused Ranjit Dinkar Patre and Sachin Manikrao Patil from charges under Section 65(e) of the Bombay Prohibition Act, invoking Section 281 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, due to the accused remaining untraceable despite multiple summons and failure of police to apprehend them. The court found it futile to keep the case pending without the Investigating Officer's report or the accused's presence, and accordingly cancelled bail bonds and ordered disposal of seized materials.
