    Summary The court acquitted Suresh Rumaaji Nikam of charges under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, Section 65(E)(F), for allegedly possessing large quantities of illicit alcohol and brewing equipment found during a raid on 17 January 2020. Although the prosecution presented evidence of seized materials including plastic tanks, barrels, and homemade liquor, the court found the evidence insufficient to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, citing gaps in witness testimony and the absence of key corroborating witnesses at trial.
