P.S. Pusad City vs Kishor Pralhad Jadhav — 2100/2025

Summary The court acquitted all three accused under the Mumbai Gambling Prohibition Act, Section 12(a), finding that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that the prosecution's sole eyewitness (a panch member) could not establish the gambling offense with certainty, as critical details regarding the amount wagered and purpose of funds remained ambiguous. Consequently, the court ordered the accused's immediate release and return of seized property worth ₹87,000, along with forfeiture of gambling materials.
