CASE SUMMARY: CC 303/2025 The court acquitted defendant Pichaimuthu on charges under Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act Section 4(1)(C) r/w 4(1)(a), finding the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. Police alleged they seized 26 bottles of Black Pearl Brandy from the defendant on 23.12.2024 near a dumping site, claiming unauthorized possession for resale. However, the court identified critical evidentiary gaps: the defendant's confessional statement couldn't be used against him under Indian Evidence Act provisions; chemical analysis of seized bottles wasn't conducted to confirm contents; no buyers testified; and procedural irregularities undermined the investigation's credibility. The court ordered the defendant's release under BNSS Section 271(1). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
