    Judegement

    The court acquitted respondent Santoshiben Muljibhai Pirubhai Vasava of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(AA) for allegedly possessing and selling illicit liquor. The court found insufficient evidence as the panchnama (witness statement) lacked credibility—the witnesses were police officers rather than independent civilians, and critical procedural requirements were not met, making the seizure and evidence unreliable for conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
