Case Summary: 240/2026 The court acquitted defendant Hansaben Limbabhai Ukabhai Parmar of charges under the Bombay (Gujarat) Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(A), finding that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical evidential gaps: no independent witnesses were examined, the panchnama (search record) was not properly substantiated by the panches who testified, no FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) report confirmed the seized material was alcohol, and the complainant's case remained unproven despite witness testimony. Applying established judicial principles that when doubt exists regarding fundamental evidence, the benefit must go to the accused, the court declared the defendant not guilty and ordered her release. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
