    Case Summary: Government of Gujarat v. Sankarbhai Somabhai Salat (119/2026) The court acquitted the accused Sankarbhai Somabhai Salat of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 65(A)(A) for alleged illegal possession and sale of 3 liters of country liquor worth ₹600 on 12/06/2025. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, particularly noting the absence of laboratory testing reports to confirm the seized liquid was actually alcohol, reliance solely on police testimony, and lack of independent witnesses. The accused was acquitted and granted benefit of doubt; his bail was continued pending any appeal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
