casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary The court acquitted Chandrakala (age 28) of charges under Section 16/54 of the Rajasthan Excise Act for allegedly transporting 3 liters of illegal liquor. The judgment found critical inconsistencies in the prosecution's evidence: witness testimonies contradicted each other regarding where the seizure and arrest occurred (at the scene vs. at the police station), when the sample was extracted, and even the date of the incident (April vs. June 2016). The court held that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt due to these material contradictions in documentary and oral evidence, and consequently granted the accused the benefit of doubt and acquitted her. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
