    Copy of Judgment

    Case Summary: State of Maharashtra v. Satish Dadaji Balki (1737/2019) Court Decision: The court acquitted the accused Satish Dadaji Balki of charges under Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949, Section 65(E) for allegedly selling 21 bottles of 180 ml each of illicit liquor on July 31, 2019. The prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, as its sole witness (a panchayat member) retracted statements made to police and could not substantiate the allegations. Key Reasoning: The court found that the prosecution presented only one witness whose testimony was unreliable and inconsistent. The witness denied making any statement to police regarding the accused's involvement, and no corroborating evidence was presented. The absence of credible evidence meant the burden of proof could not be discharged against the accused, warranting acquittal under CrPC Section 255(1).
