State through Chandwad Police Station vs Waliba Ashok Sonawane — 505/2025

Summary The court acquitted accused Valiba Ashok Sonwane in a Bombay Prohibition Act case (Section 65(e) offense) by invoking Section 258 of the Criminal Procedure Code, citing prolonged delay, repeated failure to secure the accused's presence despite multiple summons/warrants, and the prosecution's failure to file the required chemical analysis report. The court found it a fit case to stop proceedings to prevent abuse of process and waste of public resources, canceling all bail bonds and recalling the non-bailable warrant.
