    Summary The court acquitted the accused, Shankar Shivaji Gangurde, of charges under the Mumbai Prohibition Act, Section 65(a)(e), finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The judgment emphasizes that while prohibited liquor (140 bottles of Prince Sant alcohol) and a motorcycle were seized, the prosecution could not establish with sufficient evidence that the accused was in possession for the purpose of sale, as it relied on only one witness testimony without corroborating evidence and failed to produce other essential witnesses despite multiple opportunities. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
