    Copy of Judgment

    Summary of Case 646/2023 The court acquitted defendant Shaikh Sattar Shaikh Gaffar of gambling charges under the Maharashtra Gambling Prohibition Act, Section 12-A. The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was playing "Varli Matka" (a form of illegal gambling) on September 27, 2023, due to inconsistencies in witness testimonies, lack of proper documentation, and absence of corroborating evidence regarding the gambling activity itself.
