Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The court acquitted the accused Bahadurbhai Balvantji Thakor of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949 (Sections 65(A) and 116(B)), finding that while foreign liquor bottles were recovered from his possession during police patrol, the prosecution failed to provide sufficient corroborating witness evidence and proper investigation. The court held that the panchnama (official record) lacked credible witness testimony to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt, and consequently the charge sheet could not be sustained. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
