    Case Summary The District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate Court in Krishnarayapuram acquitted the accused, Dhanam (age 57), of charges under Section 4(1)(C) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition (Amendment) Act, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The court determined that critical procedural irregularities—including seizure documents prepared before the FIR was registered and contradictions in witness statements regarding seizure location and timing—rendered the charge sheet unreliable and untrustworthy. Consequently, the accused was discharged under CrPC Section 248(1) and released on bail. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
