    The court acquitted the respondent Minaben of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65(a)(a), finding insufficient evidence of "exclusive and conscious possession" of contraband alcohol. The court held that key prosecution witnesses failed to support the case adequately, and in the absence of credible corroborating evidence, conviction beyond reasonable doubt could not be established, warranting acquittal.
