    Summary of Case 253/2025 The Magistrate Court in Kottakuppam acquitted respondent Senthilkumar of charges under the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Amendment Act 2024 (Sections 4(1)(a), 4(1)(C), 4(1)(h), 4(1)(A), 14(A)) for alleged illegal liquor possession. The court found significant evidentiary gaps: investigating officers failed to provide credible witness testimonies, the chain of custody for seized brandy bottles was compromised, and conflicting police statements undermined the case. The court held that without reliable corroboration and given procedural irregularities, the prosecution failed to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt, rendering the accused not the offender in this case.
