State Through Dindori Police Station. vs Ghanshyam Govardhan Chavan Advocate - Ghorpade Pradip S. — 38/2024

Summary: The First Class Judicial Magistrate's Court at Dindori acquitted the accused, Dhanshyam Govardhan Chavan, on March 10, 2026, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the charges under Maharashtra Prohibition Act Section 65(E) beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted that while liquor bottles were seized from the accused's possession, the prosecution did not provide chemical analysis reports to conclusively establish the presence of alcohol, and the sole prosecution witness could not provide credible corroboration of the crime. Due to insufficient and unreliable evidence, the accused was declared not guilty and unconditionally discharged. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
