Copy of JudgmentView PDF

Case Summary: 369/2025 Court Decision: The accused Rathinasamy was acquitted of charges under Section 4(1)(C) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Amendment Act 2024 and discharged from the case under Section 271(1) BNSS. Key Reasoning: The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. Critical evidentiary gaps included: contradictory witness testimonies among police witnesses, absence of any seized liquor bottle presented in court, no photographs or video documentation of the alleged contraband, no civilian witnesses despite the alleged incident occurring in a public location, and inconsistencies regarding how the evidence was handled. The court noted the investigating officer also served as the complainant, and serious doubts arose about whether the incident actually occurred as described. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
