Case 350/2024 Summary Court Decision: The First Class Magistrate, Pusad acquitted Sunita Mohan Rathod of charges under the Mumbai Prohibition Act, Section 65(E), finding the prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court ruled that despite seizing approximately 25 liters of illicit liquor valued at ₹1,250 from the accused's possession on January 24, 2024, the prosecution presented insufficient evidence—relying on only one witness testimony—and failed to properly establish the seizure panchanama or submit the chemical analysis report, thus not meeting the burden of proof required for conviction.
