ASHOK S CHAHAL GUMASTA INSPECTOR vs MURLIDHAR SHOW ROOM — 100/2026

The court convicted the accused Ashok S. Chahal under the Gujarat Shops and Establishments Act, Section 7, for violations during an inspection in Dholka municipality. Considering mitigating factors including the accused's poor economic status, sole earning family member status, first-time offense, and commitment to avoid future crimes, the court imposed a reduced sentence of ₹5,000 fine (or 3 days simple imprisonment in default) rather than the maximum penalty, balancing justice with rehabilitation and societal reintegration.
