The court acquitted the respondent (Manjulaben) of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(a)(b) for alleged possession and sale of illicit liquor. The court found that key prosecution witnesses failed to corroborate the case beyond reasonable doubt, and the accused's exclusive and conscious possession of the contraband was not established, warranting acquittal despite the investigation report.
