Government of Gujarat vs SHENDHABHAI NANJIBHAI PARMAR (LUHAR) Advocate - M K CHAUHAN — 199/2026

Summary: The court acquitted the accused Sendhabhаi Nanјibhаi Parmаr of charges under the Prohibition Act Section 65(F) for alleged possession of illicit liquor. The court found that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, noting critical deficiencies including: the panch (witness) names were not recorded in the FIR, independent witnesses were not examined, the seizure memo lacked proper corroboration, and police witnesses demonstrated hostility toward the panchs' testimony. The court held that exclusive conscious possession of the contraband material could not be established, and the prosecution bore the burden to prove the case conclusively—a burden it failed to discharge.
