Delhi Court Dismisses Criminal Charges in Excise Policy Case Citing Lack of Evidence

A Delhi court dismissed criminal charges in the Delhi excise policy case, citing lack of admissible evidence and legally sustainable material. The court noted the policy was formulated through a consultative process without unlawful implementation. It emphasized that policy decisions, even if unsuccessful or profitable for private parties, do not imply criminal intent. The court warned against excessive criminalization of policy choices, stating it could hinder governance and that allegations must be supported by clear legal evidence rather than conjecture.
