Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: CC No. 19/2026 The State of Gujarat v. Vakhatsinh Dhulsinh Vaghela The court acquitted the accused of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act (Section 65). The accused was arrested on 6 November 2025 with alleged possession of 2 liters of country liquor valued at ₹400. The court found the prosecution's case fundamentally flawed: the five panchas (mandatory witnesses) who should have been present during the search failed to corroborate the police's claims, with one pancha denying participation entirely. Applying established precedent that convictions in liquor seizure cases require independent corroboration from witnesses—not solely police testimony—the court held the investigation procedure defective and the evidence insufficient. The accused was acquitted and any seized liquor ordered destroyed per regulation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
