Copy of JudgmentView PDF

Case Summary: State Excise Department Mahad v. Sanghavi Sandesh Polekar (180/2025) The court acquitted the respondent Sanghavi Sandesh Polekar of charges under Maharashtra Excise Act 1949, Section 65(E)(F) for alleged unauthorized possession and sale of illicit liquor manufacturing chemicals. The prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, as the key prosecution witnesses denied the seizure and provided no chemical analysis report to establish that the seized liquid was actually illicit liquor-making material. Consequently, the court discharged the accused, cancelled his bail bond, and ordered forfeiture of the seized materials to the Excise Department. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
