Summary: Sessions Case No. 373/2022 The Sessions Judge acquitted both accused (Omraje Ashok Bhosale and Uttareshwar Balasaheb Kharat) of charges under IPC Sections 328, 188, 272, 273, Food Safety Standards Act Section 59, Epidemic Diseases Act Section 3, and Disaster Management Act Section 51(b) for allegedly possessing and transporting prohibited Gutkha. The court found critical procedural infirmities: no FIR registered immediately despite non-bailable offence; unexplained 16-hour gap between seizure and FSO notification; investigator was part of raiding party yet later conducted investigation; and Food Safety Officer lodged FIR without chemical analysis confirmation, violating FSS Act Sections 41-47. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
