State through Chandwad Police Station vs Rajendra Waluba Thombare — 88/2024

Summary The court discharged accused Rajendra Valuba Thombare and stopped proceedings under Section 258 of the CrPC in a liquor prohibition case, citing prolonged delays, the prosecution's failure to secure the accused's presence despite multiple summons/warrants, missing chemical analysis reports, and wastage of judicial resources. The court found it appropriate to invoke its powers to prevent abuse of process given the case's inordinate pendency and lack of progress.
