    Case Summary Case: Criminal Case No. 205/2026, Tharad Court, Gujarat Court's Decision: The accused, Karansinh Rupji Baghela, was acquitted and discharged of charges under the Prohibition Act, Sections 65(a)(a) and 116(b). The court found that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that foreign liquor bottles were in the accused's conscious possession, citing insufficient evidence, lack of independent witnesses, incomplete panchnama (seizure record), and inconsistencies in the investigation. The court applied the principle that when reasonable doubt exists, the benefit goes to the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
