Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The court acquitted accused Pramod Basudev Tonge of charges under Section 65(E) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949, finding that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the seized country liquor bottles were genuine contraband items. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps, including the absence of proper documentation regarding the seized materials, incomplete chain of custody records, and the complainant's inability to provide corroborating details about the seizure. Consequently, the accused was ordered to be released and the seized liquor bottles were directed to be disposed of by the State Excise Department. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
