    Case Summary Court Decision: The court acquitted the accused under Section 65(a)(a), 116(b), and 81 of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, finding insufficient evidence to prove the charges of possessing foreign liquor (McDowell's No-1 Whisky) beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that the prosecution failed to establish exclusive and conscious possession of the contraband and that critical witnesses' testimonies were not reliably corroborated.
