Case Summary: 284/2024 Court Decision: The court acquitted respondent Rajendra Dattatray Todankar of charges under Maharashtra Excise Act, Section 65(E), for alleged unauthorized sale of country liquor. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, as the two key witnesses could not support the prosecution's version, and critical gaps existed in evidence regarding seizure, storage, and maintenance of the confiscated liquor samples, raising doubts about evidence integrity. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
