State of Gujarat vs GULABBEN MAHESHBHAI NAGJIBHAI PARMAR Advocate - A B JOSHI — 36/2026

The court acquitted the accused, Gulabben Maheshbhai Nagjibhai Parmar, of charges under the Bombay Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(B,C,D,E,F), finding the prosecution's case unproven. The court determined that the panchnama (seizure document) lacked corroboration by independent witnesses, the seized items were never confirmed through FSL reports, and the panchas' testimony did not support the allegations. Applying established precedents requiring benefit of doubt when independent evidence is absent and witness testimony is contradictory, the court held the state failed to establish the possession of prohibited alcohol and distillery equipment beyond reasonable doubt, resulting in acquittal.
