    Summary The District Criminal Court in Valangaiman acquitted accused Dharmaraj of charges under Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act Sections 4(1)(aaa) and 4(1)(i) for allegedly possessing 108 liters of illicit arrack in plastic containers and Rs. 100 in cash. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, particularly because the destruction of seized contraband did not comply with mandatory statutory procedures under Section 32(c) of the TNP Act, which requires destruction to occur in the presence of a senior police officer or prohibition officer, with proper certification—procedures not followed in this case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
