    The court acquitted respondent Mohitkumar Jitubhai Varma of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act (Amendment) 2017, Section 65(A), finding insufficient credible evidence. The investigation panch witnesses were all police officers lacking independence, and critical evidence including laboratory testing reports for the seized contraband was not produced, rendering the prosecution's case fatally defective. The court held that without reliable corroborating evidence and proper procedural compliance, conviction could not be sustained.
