    Judegement

    The court acquitted both accused of illegal liquor possession charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(b), finding the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt despite recovery of 4 liters of alcohol worth ₹800. The court held that independent panch witnesses provided no corroborating support to the prosecution's case, and suspicion alone cannot substitute for legal proof in criminal matters. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
