    The court acquitted the accused Santoshbhai Gagubhai Vasava of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65, finding insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to establish proper panchnama (inspection record) procedures, as the panchas (witnesses) were police officers rather than independent citizens, undermining the credibility of the seized contraband evidence and the chemical testing report. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
