    Summary The court acquitted Ajay Shivaji Adke of charges under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, Section 65(E) for allegedly possessing 80 sealed bottles of illegal liquor for sale on October 3, 2025. The judgment found that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, citing procedural irregularities in the seizure process, lack of credible witness testimony from the panchnama (official seizure document), and absence of chemical analysis reports. The court ordered the seized liquor to be handed over to the State Excise Department after the appeal period. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
