    Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Dipak Dharmaji Kayapak (Case 181/2025) The court acquitted primary accused Dipak Dharmaji Kayapak of charges under Maharashtra Prohibition Act, Section 68(a)(b). The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused owned or controlled the eatery where illicit liquor consumption allegedly occurred on April 11, 2025. While two co-accused admitted to consuming foreign liquor at the establishment, the prosecution provided no independent corroborating evidence linking the dabha to the accused's ownership or possession, making conviction impossible under criminal procedure standards.
