    Summary In Criminal Appeal 33/2023, the Additional Sessions Judge, Jayal (Nagaur) acquitted and discharged appellant Prem Prakash of charges under Section 19/54(k) of the Rajasthan Excise Act, setting aside the lower court's conviction and 3-year imprisonment sentence with ₹20,000 fine. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish "beyond reasonable doubt" that the appellant was involved in illegal liquor transportation. Key deficiencies included: no FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) report confirming the seized liquid was alcohol; no physical evidence presented in court; contradictory witness statements regarding seizure details; appellant's absence from the crime scene; and conviction based solely on vehicle registration ownership, which is insufficient. The court emphasized that mere vehicle ownership cannot prove the appellant's knowledge or involvement in the offense.
