    Case Summary: Criminal Revision Petition 54/2026 Case: Chauhan Rajan Somabhai v. State of Gujarat Court Decision: The High Court of Gujarat allowed Chauhan Rajan Somabhai's revision petition, setting aside the Trial Court's order that refused to release a vehicle seized under the Gujarat Prohibition Act 1949, Section 88(2). The court found the Trial Court lacked authority to refuse vehicle release and held that under proper statutory interpretation, vehicles seized in prohibition cases must be forfeited to the State when liquor exceeding 20 liters is recovered, unless the vehicle owner demonstrates no culpable involvement in the offense. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
