State Excise Dept. Pusad vs Vimal Prakash Khillare — 1455/2025

Case Summary The court acquitted the accused Nimel Prakash Khillare of charges under the Mumbai Prohibition Act Section 65(E) for alleged illegal liquor possession and sale. The court found that while the prosecution proved seizure of liquor from the accused's custody (100-liter drum containing jaggery mash, 18-liter liquor, and materials worth ₹5,820), it failed to provide sufficient corroborating evidence—such as chemical analysis reports, independent witness testimony, or documentary proof—to establish that the seized items were intended for sale or that the seized liquid was actually country liquor.
