Court Decision Summary The court acquitted accused Avinash Pramod Maheswkar of charges under the Maharashtra Arms Act, Section 65(E), finding that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that 27 illegal country-made pistols were recovered from his possession. The court noted critical gaps in evidence, including failure to examine independent witnesses, chemical analysis reports, and proper scene-of-crime documentation, rendering the seized firearms unidentifiable as illegal weapons.
