Summary The court acquitted the accused A. Mohan of charges under Section 4(1)(c) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Act, finding reasonable doubt in the prosecution's case. The court determined that the police failed to comply with mandatory procedures under Section 32(c) of the TNP Act, specifically that seized liquor bottles were destroyed without proper documentary evidence, samples were not taken in the presence of a senior officer, and no certificates were forwarded to the magistrate as required by law. Given these procedural lapses and lack of independent witness corroboration, the court invoked the benefit of doubt in favor of the accused and granted acquittal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
