The court discharged accused Nirmala Tagade from charges under Section 65(e) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act and stopped proceedings under Section 258 of CrPC/281 of BNSS. The court found that due to the accused's continuous absence despite summons, failure of prosecution to secure her presence or file reports, and lack of case progress, it was appropriate to invoke powers to discontinue the stale and ineffective case in the interest of justice.
