Order on Exhibit

The court acquitted the accused under Section 258 of the Criminal Procedure Code after finding that prescribed procedures for raid, seizure of contraband property, and chemical analysis were not followed during investigation. Since procedural irregularities rendered the prosecution's case weak, the court halted proceedings and ordered the accused's bail bond cancelled and 17 whisky bottles transferred to the State Excise department. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
