Copy of JudgmentView PDF

The District Munsif Court in Uthukuli acquitted accused Ponnusamy of charges under Section 4(1)(c) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition (Amendment) Act, 2024, finding that the prosecution failed to establish the offense. Although 1.8 liters of brandy were seized, this quantity fell within the permissible 4.5-liter possession limit under Tamil Nadu rules, and the prosecution provided no evidence of sale, purchasers, or sale proceeds to prove the "possession for sale" element of the crime. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
