    Summary The court acquitted the two accused under the Gujarat Prohibition Act Section 65(a), finding that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendants were in conscious possession of foreign liquor bottles. The judgment emphasized that independent panch (witness) testimony did not corroborate the prosecution's case, procedural irregularities tainted the investigation, and relying solely on police witnesses' evidence without independent corroboration was insufficient to establish guilt in prohibition cases. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
