    Case Summary: State of Gujarat v. Minaben Bhalaji Khant (CC 34/2026) The court acquitted the accused of prohibited liquor possession charges, finding critical evidentiary gaps in the prosecution's case. The independent panch witnesses who were present during the alleged seizure failed to corroborate the police's version, and the seized liquor sample was not properly sent for forensic analysis as mandated by the 2012 Rules, undermining the chain of custody and making conviction impossible. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
