    Summary The Judicial Magistrate Court in Mayiladuthurai acquitted the defendant of charges under Section 4(1)(C) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act, 1937, finding that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that 22 bottles of brandy were seized from the accused. The court held that the state's case suffered from critical gaps, including lack of independent witnesses to the seizure, failure to properly document the destruction of seized liquor as per legal procedures, and inconsistencies in the police witnesses' testimony regarding the date and location of the alleged offense.
