    Case Summary: CC 153/2026 The State of Gujarat challenged an acquittal in a liquor prohibition case against accused Bhikhabhai Chhaganbhai Tarar. The court found the prosecution's case fundamentally flawed due to lack of proper corroboration from independent witnesses (panchas) required during the search and seizure operation. The court noted critical deficiencies: no FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) report on the seized liquor sample, failure to follow proper sample collection procedures under Gujarat Prohibition Rules 2012, and police witnesses presenting evidence without independent witness corroboration. The court upheld the acquittal and rejected the State's appeal, holding that conviction cannot rest solely on uncorroborated police testimony when mandatory witness presence is statutorily required. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
