Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The Judicial Magistrate acquitted the accused Raja under Section 4(1)(a) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition (TNP) Act and ordered his release under CrPC Section 255(1). The court found that the prosecution failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was selling liquor illegally—specifically, there were inconsistencies in witness testimonies regarding the vehicle description, timing of seizure, and whether a private citizen actually made the liquor purchase from the accused. The court concluded that the charges could not be proven conclusively, warranting acquittal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
