Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary The court acquitted the accused under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949, Section 65(a) due to insufficient evidence. Although the prosecution alleged the accused was found with 500 ml of country liquor without proper permission during a police patrol, the key witness (panchanama witness) denied the allegation and the recovery evidence lacked proper corroboration. The court held that the prosecution failed to establish its case conclusively and granted the accused benefit of doubt under the Criminal Procedure Code, 2023. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
