    This document is a witness deposition record (Judicial Form No. 53) in Sessions Case No. 331/2025 before the Additional Sessions Judge, Virudhunagar, dated February 2, 2026. The witness (a police officer named Balasubramanian) testified regarding the seizure of banned tobacco products (Khadus 701 cigarette packets) on December 14, 2023, following a secret tip-off during a raid. The defense cross-examined the witness extensively, highlighting procedural gaps including inconsistencies in the written statement, failure to identify the unknown person from whom the tobacco was allegedly purchased, and lack of corroborating public complaints or witness statements. The deposition was recorded and read back to the witness for confirmation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
