Copy of Judgment

Case Summary: 373/2025 (SHO Kottakuppam PEW PS v. Anantharaj) The court acquitted two accused charged under the Tamil Nadu Prohibition Amendment Act 2024 for illegal possession of brandy. Evidence showed 47 bottles of Gold Treat VSOP Brandy and 3 bottles of JD Black Brandy were seized from a vehicle on 16-03-2025, but only the 3 JD Black bottles were in "pure form." The court found insufficient evidence establishing the accused as offenders since witnesses failed to corroborate key facts, and government witnesses contradicted critical procedural elements. The court discharged the accused under BNSS Section 271(1). This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
