    Case 176/2025 Summary Court Decision: The court acquitted accused Rupasinhbhai Ramjibhai Ahari (Damor) of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(E) and Section 71, finding the prosecution's case lacks sufficient independent and corroborating evidence beyond police testimony. Key Reasoning: The court held that seized foreign liquor bottles lacked proper manufacturer identification and original labels required to raise presumptions under law. Without independent witness corroboration and with conflicting witness statements, the prosecution failed to establish a clear, unambiguous case connecting the accused to the alleged offense of unauthorized alcohol possession and sale.
