The Judicial Magistrate First Class discharged the accused Chatarsingh from charges under Section 65-e of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949, and stopped proceedings under Section 258 CrPC. The court found that despite multiple opportunities since 2023, the prosecution failed to file the Charge Sheet (C.A. report) and secure the accused's presence, making continued proceedings purposeless after over two years of delay.
