    Case Summary State v. Sanjay Vishangi (Maharashtra Excise Act, 1949, Section 65(E)) The Civil Judge Junior Division at Tasgaon acquitted the accused Sanjay Vishangi on April 1, 2026. The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was illegally possessing 35 bottles of Royal brandy (180ml each) for sale, as the critical chemical examination report of the seized items was not properly submitted as evidence. Due to this evidentiary gap and lack of credible witness testimony, the court found reasonable doubt regarding the commission of the alleged offense and declared the accused not guilty. The court also cancelled his personal bond and ordered disposal of seized contraband after any appeals. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
