THE STATE OF GUJARAT vs CHATURJI RAMAJI PARMAR Advocate - N K BHARVAD — 33/2026

Case Summary: CC No. 33/2026 The State of Gujarat v. Chaturji Ramaji Parmar The court acquitted the accused of illegal liquor possession charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, finding that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted that while police claimed to have seized 2 liters of country liquor from the accused's home on May 9, 2025, the testimonies of the mandatory panchas (witnesses) did not corroborate the prosecution's version, and critical procedural requirements—including proper sample collection and forensic analysis—were not followed according to the 2012 Rules. The judgment emphasized that conviction cannot rest solely on uncorroborated police testimony when pancha corroboration is legally mandatory; absent independent witness support and proper documentation, the entire investigation appeared compromised.
