Copy of JudgmentView PDF

Summary The Judicial Magistrate Court (Bhavani) acquitted the defendant Murugesan of charges under Section 4(1)(C) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Amendment Act for possessing 10 bottles of Veeran Brandy, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical procedural violations, including the seizure memo lacking civilian witness signatures, absence of proper sampling procedures as mandated by Section 32 of the TN Prohibition Act 1937, and lack of corroborating civilian testimony, warranting the defendant's acquittal under the benefit of doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
