    Court Decision Summary The District Munsif Cum Judicial Magistrate court in Krishnarayapuram acquitted the accused Dhanam 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 while police seized 29 bottles of Express Brandy allegedly intended for sale, procedural and evidentiary inconsistencies—particularly the preparation of seizure and destruction memos before the first information report was filed—undermined the reliability of the government's evidence and warranted acquittal.
