State Government Thorug P.S.O. Narkhed vs Dinesh Krushnaji Somkuwar — 391/2024

Summary: The Judicial Magistrate stopped proceedings against accused Dinesh Somkuwar under Section 258 of CrPC/281 of BNSS and discharged him from charges under Section 65(e) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act. The court found that despite summons being issued, the prosecution failed to secure the accused's presence or file required reports (including Chemical Analyzer report), making it impossible to conclude the case, and therefore deemed it appropriate to discontinue the old and ineffective proceedings in the interest of justice. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
