    CASE SUMMARY Case 27/2024 – State of Maharashtra v. Sugriv Vaijnath Ghuge & Ramkrushna Yadavrao Mote The court acquitted both accused of charges under IPC Sections 328, 272, 273 with Section 34, and Food Safety Act Section 27(3)(D) with Section 59. The prosecution failed to establish that prohibited gutkha and pan masala seized from Accused 1 on July 12, 2023, caused harm to human health or was intended for sale. Crucial medical examination reports proving toxicity were absent from the record, and the evidence linking Accused 2 to the crime was insufficient.
