Copy of JudgmentView PDF

Case Summary: CC 341/2025 The court acquitted Siva Vadivel of charges under Section 4(1)(c) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act for allegedly possessing and selling illicit liquor. Although police witnesses testified that five bottles of Green Leaf Brandy were seized from the accused on 06.11.2024, the court found critical procedural violations: the seized liquor was destroyed at the incident site without proper authorization from a senior officer or Prohibition Officer, samples were not formally drawn, and no independent civilian witnesses corroborated the seizure. These breaches of statutory requirements under Section 32(c) of the TNP Act created reasonable doubt about the prosecution's case, warranting acquittal under the benefit of doubt principle.
