    Summary The court acquitted the accused Raju Suresh Kukde of charges under Section 65(E) of the Mumbai Prohibition Act. The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was unlawfully possessing and selling 8 bottles of country liquor worth approximately ₹280 on December 9, 2023. The court found critical deficiencies in the prosecution's case, including reliance on a single witness, absence of chemical analysis reports, and lack of proper documentation establishing the seized liquid as illicit liquor. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
