JUDEGEMENT

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. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
