JUDEGEMENT

Case Summary: 767/2025 The State of Gujarat v. Ashokbhai Bachubhai Gohil The court acquitted the respondent of drunk driving charges, finding fatal infirmities in the prosecution's case. The blood alcohol level (0.0918%) exceeded the legal limit, but the court ruled that mandatory procedural requirements under the Bombay Prohibition Rules were violated: the doctor failed to personally add anticoagulant and preservative to the blood sample as required, instead receiving a pre-prepared phial from the laboratory without proper verification. Additionally, critical investigative details—witness names and addresses—were omitted from the FIR, and only police witnesses testified rather than independent witnesses. The court held these violations vitiated the conviction. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
