The State of Maharashtra vs Ramesh Rangrao Suryawanshi Advocate - Jadhav Satish C — 63/2020

Summary of Case 63/2020 Court Decision: The First Class Judicial Magistrate acquitted defendant Ramesh Rangrao Suryawanshi of charges under Maharashtra Prohibition Act Section 65(E) on March 13, 2026. The court found that prosecution witnesses were not adequately presented to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt, and the chemical examination report alone was insufficient to prove the illegal liquor possession charge. Key Reasoning: The judge noted that the prosecution failed to fulfill its obligations by not producing all witnesses as directed on multiple dates, causing undue delay. The court observed that while liquor was allegedly seized from the accused, the prosecution's procedural lapses and inadequate evidence meant the charge could not be sustained under criminal law standards.
