    Copy of Judgment

    Case Summary: 117/2026 The court acquitted respondent Mala Maroti Satpute of charges under Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949, Section 65(E) for allegedly possessing 12 liters of illicit liquor. The prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, having examined only one witness (the panchnama witness) whose testimony did not provide sufficient corroborating evidence. The court found that the chemical analysis report and other critical evidence lacked proper witness examination, and the prosecution did not establish the chain of custody adequately to sustain the conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
