    Summary In Sessions Case No. 121 of 2024 before the Assistant Sessions Judge, Virudhunagar, witness PW4 (a 43-year-old police officer) testified that on 17.06.2022, based on secret information, he and colleagues raided a small shop near K. Sevalpatty bus stand where banned tobacco products were being sold illegally. The defendant voluntarily produced 12 packets of Khasp cigarettes and 15 packets of Coolip, which were seized under IPC sections 272, 273, 328 and COTPA Act section 24(1). During cross-examination, the witness's credibility was substantially challenged regarding procedural irregularities, including lack of proper documentation, witness signatures, and inconsistencies in the arrest procedure.
