Police Station, Babhulgaon vs Bapurao Maroti Debur Advocate - Satish D Thakare — 31/2025

Summary The court acquitted the accused, Bapurao Maroti Deb, of charges under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949, Section 65(E) for alleged illegal possession and sale of country liquor. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, as it presented only one witness and could not establish through independent witnesses or chemical analysis that the seized bottles actually contained illicit liquor. Consequently, the accused was ordered to be discharged under the Indian Code of Criminal Procedure, 2023, Section 278(1). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
