Summary The Udumalpet Magistrate Court acquitted Katturaja (27 years old) of charges under Section 4(1)(c) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition (TNP) Act for allegedly possessing and attempting to sell 180 ML of Express brandy bottles without government permission. The court found that the prosecution's evidence, based solely on three police witnesses' testimonies, contained significant inconsistencies and contradictions regarding the location of the incident, number of persons present, and timeline of events, rendering it insufficient to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. Consequently, the court discharged the accused under CrPC Section 248(1). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
