State of Mah. through Police Station, Bhiwapur vs Gajanan Madhukar Warjurkar — 258/2023

Summary The court acquitted the accused Gajanan Madhukar Varjurkar of charges under Maharashtra Prohibition Act Section 65(E) for allegedly possessing 15 bottles of country liquor (180 ml each) on 13.05.2023. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt as the key witness provided no cooperation, other witnesses were not produced despite summons, and the seizure panchnama could not be established, creating doubt about the seized bottles' authenticity despite chemical analysis confirming the presence of alcohol. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
