Order on ExhibitView PDF
Summary The Roha Judicial Magistrate acquitted the accused of liquor possession charges under Section 65(E) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act 1949 by stopping proceedings under Section 258 CrPC. The court found that despite over 2 years passing since the charge-sheet was filed on 19.12.2023, the prosecution failed to file the essential chemical analysis report proving the substance was liquor, making conviction impossible. Police records were retained for potential case reopening under Section 300(5) CrPC. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
