Order on Exhibit

The Judicial Magistrate acquitted the accused and stopped proceedings under Section 258 CrPC, finding that prescribed procedures for raid, seizure, and chemical analysis were not followed during the investigation. The court determined that even a pending chemical analysis report would not aid prosecution, making further proceedings futile. Seized liquor and instruments were ordered disposed of by the State Excise Department. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
