    The court acquitted the accused of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(a)(a) due to insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt, as key witnesses (the five panchas) did not support the police narrative regarding alleged plastic bottles containing contraband liquor seized from the accused's possession. The court found that exclusive and conscious possession of the seized items could not be conclusively proven against the accused, and therefore acquitted him and ordered destruction of the seized materials.
