    SUMMARY: The court acquitted accused Kiranbhai Mevabhai Majirana of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act (Sections 65(A)(A), 116(B)) for alleged illegal possession of 98 bottles of country liquor. The court found the prosecution's case baseless and doubtful, primarily because the panch witnesses turned hostile and denied that the panchnama was prepared in their presence—they only signed a pre-made document. Additionally, the investigation appeared partial as only police personnel were examined as witnesses despite the incident occurring in a public place, and the liquid's identity as country liquor was not conclusively proven. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
