    Case Summary: CC.No. 45/2026 Court Decision: The Judicial Magistrate acquitted defendant Kathirvel under Sections 4(1)(A) and 4(1)(C) of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Amendment Act, finding the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt. The court determined that mandatory legal procedures under Section 32 of the TNP Amendment Act—requiring samples to be drawn in the presence of a Prohibition Officer or senior police officer—were not followed, rendering the evidence defective and insufficient for conviction.
