State of Maharashtra Through P S O PS Jaulka vs Bandu Baban Dakhore — 769/2022

The court stopped criminal proceedings against accused Bandu Baban Dakhore under Section 258 of the CrPC and discharged him of charges under Section 65(e) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949. The discharge was granted because the accused remained absent despite repeated summons, no service was effected, the prosecution failed to secure his attendance, and no Charge sheet had been filed on record, making future appearance unlikely. The 20 liters of handmade country liquor seized by police station Jaulka was already destroyed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
