    Copy of JudgmentView PDF

    Case 380/2025 Summary Court Decision: The court acquitted respondent Arivazhagan of liquor smuggling charges under the Tamil Nadu Prohibition (TNP) Amendment Act 2024, finding insufficient evidence and procedural irregularities in the police investigation and prosecution case. Key Reasoning: The court determined that prosecution witnesses failed to provide credible testimony linking the accused to the contraband liquor seized on 08-02-2025, and that critical evidentiary gaps—including absent independent witnesses and inconsistent documentation—undermined the state's case beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
