    Case Summary: Case 246/2025 The court acquitted Dhanaji Dattatray Waghmare of charges under Maharashtra Prohibition Act, Section 65(E) for alleged illegal liquor sale. The prosecution relied solely on testimony from a single panchnama witness who failed to corroborate the prosecution's case and provided contradictory statements. The court found the prosecution failed to produce sufficient evidence, including the required chemical analysis report, and other material witnesses despite multiple summons. Applying the benefit of doubt principle in criminal law, the court acquitted the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
