    Judegement

    Case Summary: Case 120/2026 Government of Gujarat v. Sahilkhan Faridkhan Pathan The court acquitted the respondent of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65(a)(a), 116(b) for illegal possession of foreign liquor (Blue Stroke Exquisite Whisky). The court found that key prosecution witnesses, particularly the five panchas (independent observers), failed to adequately support the case, with the main pancha providing no corroboration. The court held that without credible witness testimony establishing exclusive and conscious possession "beyond reasonable doubt," conviction was not warranted, and further trial would waste judicial time with no prospect of conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
