The State of Maharashtra Through Excise Inspector Washim. vs Rameshwar Namdev Rathod — 659/2025

The court stopped proceedings against Rameshwar Namdev Rathod under section 258 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, for an alleged offense under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act. The prosecution's case was fatally weakened by failure to secure the accused's presence despite multiple summons and failure to file the Chemical Analysis report of the alleged liquor on record. The court ordered cancellation of bail bonds, discharge of sureties, and disposal of seized liquor by the State Excise Department after the appeal period. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
