State of Maharashtra through PSO Washim City vs Shubham Anil Daliya Advocate - MORE SUDHIR DAMODAR — 30/2024

Case Summary: Sessions Case 30/2024 The Additional Sessions Judge, Washim, acquitted both accused—Shubham Anil Daliya and Ketan Shyamlal Mundhare—of charges under Sections 328, 272, 273, 188 IPC and Section 59(i) of the Food Safety & Standards Act, 2006, finding insufficient evidence of guilt. The court noted critical gaps in prosecution evidence: one key witness turned hostile, the investigating officer provided no description of seized articles, the chemical analysis report did not confirm poisonous substances, and the government notification allegedly violated was neither produced nor proved, leaving the prosecution case riddled with reasonable doubt that entitled the accused to acquittal.
