Order on Exhibit

The court acquitted accused Prabhakar Shankar Bhatkar of charges under Section 65(e) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949, invoking Section 258 of the CrPC. The court cited the case's 4-year pendency, prosecution's failure to secure witness attendance (only 1 witness examined despite being a summary case requiring 6-month disposal), and an ongoing special drive to dispose delayed matters as justification for stopping proceedings. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
