Chhattisgarh High Court sets aside conviction under the Excise Act due to procedural non-compliance, emphasizing that failure to seal seized liquor and conduct a test identification parade undermines evidentiary value. The ruling reinforces strict adherence to seizure protocols to sustain convictions in excise offenses.

Supreme Court holds that non-recovery of murder weapon does not invalidate conviction when ocular and medical evidence are consistent and reliable.
