    Case Summary: CC.NO.168/2025 Court Decision: The court acquitted the accused, Kalpeshkumar, of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(I), finding the prosecution's case built solely on police testimony without independent corroboration. The court ruled that the seizure of foreign liquor lacked proper documentary evidence—such as manufacturer verification or original sealed bottle labeling—necessary to establish the goods' authenticity, and consequently dismissed the charges against the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
