Copy of Judgment

Case Summary: SCC 207/2025 The court acquitted respondent Prajakta Pritam Polekar of charges under Section 65(E) of the Maharashtra Excise Act, 1949 for alleged unauthorized sale of illicit liquor. The prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, as the two key prosecution witnesses did not support the prosecution's allegations, and critically, the prosecution did not file any chemical analysis report to establish that the seized liquid was actually liquor. The court ruled that without such scientific evidence, the prosecution could not substantiate its claims, rendering the case insufficient. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
