SI OF POLICE THEVOOR PS vs RAMESH — 40/2026

Summary The Judicial Magistrate Court acquitted Ramesh of charges under Section 4(1)(C) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act for allegedly selling liquor bottles without license, finding the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The court identified critical procedural failures: absence of independent witnesses at the public seizure, no chemical analysis confirming the bottles contained alcohol, missing mandatory seizure documentation, and lack of evidence proving the possession was for sale rather than personal consumption permitted under state rules. The accused was released and case property ordered destroyed after appeal period. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
