    Summary of Case 125/2026 The accused, Venmanivannan, was charged under Section 4(1)(C) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition (Amendment) Act for allegedly possessing 180ml of "Day Night Brandy" without government authorization on October 2, 2025. The court acquitted the accused, finding that the prosecution failed to follow mandatory procedures under Section 32 of the TNP Act: specifically, the seizure, sampling, and destruction of the seized liquor were not conducted in the presence of another independent officer of requisite rank (a Prohibition Officer or Police Inspector), which the court deemed essential to prevent manipulation and ensure procedural integrity.
