    Summary The Judicial Magistrate Court in Bhavani acquitted the accused, Ponnusamy (69), of charges under Section 4(1)(C) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Amendment Act (Toddy), finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court determined that critical procedural violations—including the absence of a proper prohibition officer or senior police inspector during seizure and destruction of alleged contraband liquor, lack of independent public witnesses, and failure to maintain proper documentation—created sufficient doubt regarding the authenticity and legality of the evidence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
