Case Summary: 1046/2023 Court Decision: The accused Anil Pralhad Chondkar was acquitted of charges under Section 65(E) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. Key Reasoning: The court held that critical evidence was lacking: (1) the witness who signed the seizure panchnama contradicted the prosecution's narrative, denying presence at the seizure site; (2) no chemical analysis report confirming the seized liquid was alcohol was produced; and (3) without chemical confirmation and a credible witness account, the prosecution could not definitively establish that the accused possessed liquor for sale. The court emphasized that in such cases, the panchnama carries critical evidentiary weight, which was not adequately corroborated by witness testimony or scientific evidence.
