    Judegement

    Case Summary: CC No. 180/2026 Court Decision: The accused Rasikbhai Jentibhai Vasava was acquitted of charges under Gujarat Prohibition Act Sections 66(1)(b) and 85. The court found the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused consumed alcohol, primarily due to absence of proper scientific evidence and expert testimony on blood testing procedures. Key Reasoning: The investigating officer admitted he was not a qualified expert in alcohol testing and had not prepared Form "C" (required testing documentation per Bombay Prohibition Rules 1959). Without independent expert evidence and proper procedural compliance, the court held the circumstantial evidence of intoxication insufficient to establish the offense conclusively. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
