State of Mah. through Police Station, Bhiwapur vs Ajay Ganpat Parate — 432/2024

The court acquitted the accused Ajay Ganpat Porate of charges under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, Section 65(E), finding that the prosecution failed to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt despite chemical reports confirming illicit liquor in seized bottles. The court ruled that the prosecution could not prove the seizure procedure through credible witness testimony, as the sole witness examined could not corroborate the prosecution's case and other key witnesses failed to appear despite summons.
