State Government Thorug P.S.O. Jalalkheda vs Sau Nanubai Gulabrao Bhond — 1073/2024

Summary: The court discharged accused Nanubai Bhond from charges under Section 65(e) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act and stopped the criminal proceedings under Section 258 of CrPC/281 of BNSS. The court found that despite summons being issued, the prosecution failed to secure the accused's presence or file necessary reports (including Chemical Analyzer report), making case conclusion impossible, and therefore exercised discretion to close the stale and ineffective case in the interest of justice.
