    The Gujarat High Court acquitted respondent Sudhaben Mukeshbhai Morabhai Vasava of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(AA), finding insufficient evidence against her due to defects in the panchnama (official record) and weak witness credibility. The court ruled that the investigating officer failed to establish proper foundation for the seized substance and that police witnesses lacked independent corroboration, warranting acquittal under CrPC Section 271(1).
