JudegementView PDF

Case Summary: 1023/2024 The State of Gujarat v. Satishbhai Somabhai Ukkadbhai Vasava The court acquitted the accused charged under the Gujarat Prohibition Act for illegal possession and sale of foreign liquor. The prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, as the five panchas (witnesses) who were present during the seizure did not corroborate the prosecution's version, and no independent witnesses supported the case. The court held that mere police testimony without reliable corroborating evidence cannot sustain a conviction, and applied the fundamental principle that suspicion—however strong—cannot replace proof.
