    Summary The District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate Court acquitted the accused Muthammal under Section 4(1)(C) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition (Amendment) Act, 2024, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the charge beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that critical procedural deficiencies—including improper destruction of seized liquor bottles without following statutory requirements, absence of independent witness testimony, and the investigating officer being both the complainant and investigator (raising bias concerns)—fatally undermined the credibility of the evidence.
