3. STATEMENT OF ACCUSED U/S 313 Cr.P.C :

3.1 The prosecution evidence was closed upon submissions on behalf of the State on 24.02.2025. After the prosecution evidence was closed, the entire incriminating evidence was put to accused person in terms of Section 313 Cr.P.C r/w Section 281 Cr.P.C. and statement of accused was recorded separately on 21.03.2025 wherein he denied the allegations and tendered explanation that he had been falsely implicated and nothing was recovered from his possession. He opted not to lead any DE in his defence.
4. ARGUMENTS:

4.1 Ld. APP for the State has argued that the accused person was apprehended with the case property which was recovered from him and on a combined reading of prosecution witnesses' testimony, offence under section FIR No. 82/2019 State Vs Amit Bairu U/s 33/38 Delhi Excise Act 9 33/38 of Delhi Excise Act, 2009 stand proved beyond reasonable doubt, against the accused person.

4.2 On the other hand, Ld. Counsel for the accused person has argued that there is no legally admissible evidence against the accused person and that the prosecution witnesses have contradicted each other at several vital points. He also argued that no seal handing over memo had been prepared and the sanctity of the seal was not beyond question. He submitted that no videography, photography, examination of any public witness was done hence the recovery was doubtful. He argued that prosecution has failed to prove the case against the accused person beyond reasonable doubt and hence, the accused person is entitled to be acquitted.

5. APPRECIATION OF EVIDENCE AND FINDINGS ON MERITS:

5.1 In the present case, the accused person has been charged with the offence U/s 33/38 Delhi Excise Act, for being found in possession of illicit liquor without any licence, permit or pass, and in contravention of the notification issued by the Delhi Government.
5.2 Section 33 of Delhi Excise Act, 2009 states that:
'whoever, in contravention of provisions of this Act or of any rule or order made or notification issued or of any licence, permit or pass, granted under this Act-
(a) manufactures, imports, exports, transports or removes any intoxicant;
(b) constructs or works any manufactory or warehouse;
FIR No. 82/2019 State Vs Amit Bairu U/s 33/38 Delhi Excise Act 10
(c) bottles any liquor for purposes of sale;
(d) uses, keeps or has in his possession any material, still, utensil, implement or apparatus, whatsoever, for the purpose of manufacturing any intoxicant other than toddy or tari;
(e) possesses any material or film either with or without the government logo or logo of any State or wrapper or any other thing in which liquor can be packed or any apparatus or implement or machine for the purpose of packing liquor;
(f) sells any intoxicant, collects, possesses or buys any intoxicant beyond the prescribed quantity, shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than six months but which may extend to three years with fine, which shall not be less than fifty thousand rupees which may extend to one lakh rupees'.

5.3 Section 38 of Delhi Excise Act, 2009 states that:

'whoever has in his possession any liquor knowing the same to have been unlawfully imported, transported or manufactured or knowing the prescribed duty not to have been paid thereon, shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months and fine which may extend to one lakh rupees'.
5.4. From a combined reading of the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses examined and the material placed on record in the final report, several doubts have been created over the factum of alleged recovery from the accused. To begin with, the apprehending witnesses have failed to place any DD entry regarding their patrolling duty on record. While the first i.e. PW-1 FIR No. 82/2019 State Vs Amit Bairu U/s 33/38 Delhi Excise Act 11 did not recall the time at which they had left the police station for patrolling, PW-3 stated that the time at 05.30 pm and PW-4 stated the time as 08.10 pm. It is also abundantly clear that the investigating authority has not made any effort to have any public witness join the proceedings at the time of recovery, arrest or completing other formalities. PW-1 and PW-3 stated in their respective testimonies that the spot was residential area and public persons had been asked to join the investigation but none had joined. No notice was served and their names and addresses were not noted. On the other hand, PW-5 claimed that there were no public persons at the spot but stated that he had tried to get neighbours to join the investigation.
5.5 When a statutory provision mandates that an independent witness has to be joined in the investigation, the IO is duty bound to comply with the same. Merely stating that the public persons refused to join the investigation is not sufficient to serve the purpose of the prosecuting agency, more so, when the IO failed to even record the names and details of such person, and failed to take any required steps in terms of provisions of Cr.P.C and IPC as noted below.

Section 100(4) Cr.P.C states that,"before making a search under this Chapter, the officer or other person about to make it shall call upon two or more independent and respectable inhabitants of the locality in which the place to be searched is situate, or of any other locality if no such inhabitant of the said locality is available or is willing to be a witness to the search, to attend and witness the search and may issue an order in writing to them or any of them so to do"....

FIR No. 82/2019 State Vs Amit Bairu U/s 33/38 Delhi Excise Act 12 Section 37 Cr.P.C. states that, "every person is bound to assist a Magistrate or police officer reasonably demanding his aid-(a) in the taking or preventing the escape of any other person whom such Magistrate or police Officer is authorized to arrest ; or (b) in the prevention of suppression of a breach of the peace; or (c) in the prevention of any injury attempted to be committed to any railway, canal, telegraph or public property".

Section 42 Cr.P.C. states that, "when any person who, in the presence of the police officer, has committed or has been accused of committing a non-cognizable offence refuses, on demand of such officer, to give his name and residence, or gives a name or residence which such officer has reason to believe to be false, he may be arrested by such officer in order that his name or residence may be ascertained.

(2) When the true name and residence of such persons have been ascertained, he shall be released on his executing a bond, with or without sureties, to appear before a Magistrate, if so required;

Provided that, if such person is not resident in India, the bond shall be secured by a surety or sureties resident in India.

(3) Should the true name and residence of such person not be ascertained within twenty-four hours from the time of arrest, or should he fail to execute the bond, or, if so required, to furnish sufficient sureties, he shall forthwith be forwarded to the nearest Magistrate having jurisdiction".

FIR No. 82/2019 State Vs Amit Bairu U/s 33/38 Delhi Excise Act 13 Section 187 IPC states that, " whoever, being bound by law to render or furnish assistance to any public servant in the execution of his public duty, intentionally omits to give such assistance, shall be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to one month, or with fine which may extend to two hundred rupees, or with both; and if such assistance be demanded of him by a public servant legally competent to make such demand for the purpose of executing any process lawfully issued by a Court of Justice, or of preventing the commission of an offence, or of suppressing a riot, or affray, or of apprehending a person charged with or guilty of an offence, or of having escaped from lawful custody, shall be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to five hundred rupees, or with both".

5.6 The importance of getting independent witnesses to join the investigation has been laid out by the superior courts in a catena of judgments. In Roop Chand Vs. State of Haryana reported in 1990 (1) CLR 69, the Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana observed that such explanations that public persons refused to join the proceedings are unreliable. Moreover, the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India also noted in the case of Pradeep Narayana Vs. State of Maharashtra AIR 1995 SE 930 that failure of the police to get persons from the locality to join the investigation during search creates doubt about its fairness, benefit of which has to be given to the accused. In the present matter, hence, the chances of false implication and planted recovery, FIR No. 82/2019 State Vs Amit Bairu U/s 33/38 Delhi Excise Act 14 as alleged by the defence, cannot be ruled out.

5.7 There are other discrepancies casting a doubt over the prosecution chain of events. For instance, PW-3 and PW-4 stated that they had reached the spot and apprehended the accused on the basis of a secret information received by PW-4. However, PW-1 does not mention any such secret information and states that the police officials had discovered the accused by chance during patrolling. PW-4 also stated that the accused had started running inside the house and trying to keep the katta inside after seeing the police officials, which the other witnesses have not stated. Further, PW-5 has mentioned that he came to the spot from the police station with one Ct. Lalit, however, such person is neither mentioned in the list of prosecution witnesses nor named by any of the other witnesses examined. There are also discrepancies regarding the timing of investigation proceedings. For instance, PW-3 stated that the tehrir was taken to the police station at 10.15 pm and brought back at 10.40 pm, presumably the same time that the IO reached the spot. However, PW-4 first stated that the tehrir was taken at 10.00 pm and brought back one hour later i.e. 11.00 pm and then stated further in his cross- examination that the IO had come to the spot with Ct. Anil at 10.30 am. The IO i.e. PW-5, meanwhile, stated that he had left the police station itself at 11.00 pm. These discrepancies were never resolved by the prosecution.

5.8 The defence has also pointed out the discrepancies regarding sanctity of seal on the case property and the same is supported by the cross- examination of the witnesses. Firstly, it is noted that PW-1 & PW-3 stated FIR No. 82/2019 State Vs Amit Bairu U/s 33/38 Delhi Excise Act 15 that the property was sealed with the seal of 'MST' whereas PW-4 stated that the seal was of 'SMP'. Further, all the witnesses stated that the seal after use was handed over to PW-3 and PW-3 stated that he had deposited the seal in the maalkhana on the same day. On the other hand, PW-4 stated that he got the seal back from PW-3 upon returned to the police station and then contradicted himself by stating that he got his seal back from PW-1 before leaving the spot. As admitted by the witnesses, no seal handing over or return memo was made. Admittedly, the seal was never handed over to any independent person and remained with the officials of the same police station, if not the IO himself. Tampering with the case property as well as the seal cannot be ruled out in such a case. No independent witness was examined with respect to the same and no photography or videography was done during recovery, sealing or seizure proceedings. In a case where only police witnesses are available, it becomes incumbent upon such officials to comply with all procedural requirements and failure of the same shall work in the favour of the accused.

5.9 Additionally, the seizure memo in the present case is stated to have been made prior to preparation of tehrir and registration of FIR by all recovery witnesses and all the witnesses reiterated the same in their cross examination. PW-1 even confirmed in his cross examination that it had been prepared in one go and no addition was done to it later on. PW-3 on the other hand stated that FIR number was written down by the second IO whereas the second IO i.e. PW-5 confirmed the same in his examination-in-chief but in his cross-examination, he stated that he did not make any endorsement on the FIR No. 82/2019 State Vs Amit Bairu U/s 33/38 Delhi Excise Act 16 seizure memo and form M-29 regarding addition made later. However, the seizure memo bears complete particulars of the present case FIR in the same handwriting as the rest of the documents. This raises doubt on the proceedings as the implication is that either the FIR was registered prior in time or the document in question was prepared later on at the police station. In both cases, the benefit of doubt goes to the accused person.

5.10 Most importantly, the very existence of violation of the excise policy has been brought into question as only two quarter bottles among those seized were sent for chemical analysis and found to contain alcohol. The presence of alcohol in the remaining allegedly recovered liquor bottles has not been proved by the prosecution and accused has not even been charged for the lot from which one sample was drawn i.e. the 55 quarter bottles in the second sack. Now, since the State has only found two bottles containing 180 ml alcohol each, allegedly recovered from the accused, an offence under Section 33 of the Delhi Excise Act, 2009 cannot be said to have been made out, as the same falls within the maximum permissible limit specified under Rule 20 of the Delhi Excise Rules, 2010. No batch number of the remaining bottles corresponding to the sample were noted to indicate similarity of contents.

5.11 The cardinal principle of law that the prosecution has to prove its case beyond all reasonable doubts, remains the dictating factor. The standard of proof in criminal cases is not preponderance of probabilities but proof beyond all reasonable doubt. It is a settled principle of criminal jurisprudence that culpability cannot be established on surmises and conjectures but it should FIR No. 82/2019 State Vs Amit Bairu U/s 33/38 Delhi Excise Act 17 rest on cogent, reliable and clinching evidence, dispelling every doubt and bulwarking the fact that in all possibility, the offence must have been committed by the accused. In the present case it is apparent that the case of the prosecution suffers from several glaring loopholes and the possibility of planted or tampered recovery cannot be ruled out. Under the circumstances, it would not be legally viable to convict the accused merely on the basis of testimony of the police officials. Hence, accused Amit Bairu S/o Sh. Jagdish Kumar, R/o H.No. WZ-283/15 A, Ground Floor, West Block, Vishnu Garden, Delhi is acquitted of the offences punishable u/s 33/38 of Delhi Excise Act, 2009.
