Summary The court acquitted the accused Pirabaai Mevabaai Ravel under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, Section 65(f), finding that the prosecution failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. The judgment emphasized that when panchas (witnesses) are mandatory during a search under the Prohibition Act, the evidence of police officers must be corroborated; in this case, the panchas did not support the prosecution's claims, and critical procedural defects undermined the credibility of the seized liquor evidence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
