    Court Decision Summary The Principal Civil Judge & J.M.F.C. Court of Dantiwada acquitted the accused (Sureshbhai Savshibhai Malotriaya) under Section 65(A) of the Gujarat Excise Act, 1949, finding the prosecution's case based on unreliable witness testimony. The court noted that the panchnama (official record) was conducted without proper procedure, as the witnesses denied their presence and the police evidence lacked corroboration. The accused's detention was deemed unsustained, and the case was dismissed as the prosecution failed to prove the charge of possessing 500ml of country liquor without permit beyond reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
