    Summary The First Class Magistrate Court of Lanja acquitted 87-year-old Tukaram Lakshman Agre of charges under Section 65(E) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949, for alleged illegal possession of country-made liquor. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt—crucially, the investigation report was not produced, the seizure panchnama lacked corroborating witnesses, and only one panchnama witness testified, whose credibility was undermined during cross-examination regarding procedural irregularities.
