    Summary The Palus First Class Magistrate Court acquitted Ashwini Gorakh Madne of charges under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, Section 65(E) for allegedly possessing 22 bottles of illegal liquor for sale. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt, as the sole panchnama witness could not corroborate the seizure details and no chemical analysis report was submitted to confirm the seized substance was actually alcohol. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
