    Summary The Udumalpet Judicial Magistrate acquitted the accused Katturaja under Section 4(1)(c) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act, finding that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical gaps in the investigation, including the failure to examine independent witnesses, inconsistencies in the testimonies of the two police witnesses regarding the location and number of people present at the scene, and the absence of proper documentation of the alleged illegal liquor bottles seized. The acquittal was ordered under Section 248(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
