State Excise Department-Divisional 1 vs Dharmapal Arjun Gajbhiye — 2057/2024

The court stopped proceedings and discharged the accused under Section 258 of the Criminal Procedure Code in a Maharashtra Prohibition Act case because the prosecution failed to file a Chemical Analysis (C.A.) report, making it impossible to determine whether the seized article was alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The court recalled the warrant, and ordered seized liquor be sent to the Excise Department for disposal and any seized vehicle be returned to its owner after the appeal period.
