    Case Summary: C.C. No. 242/2026 Decision: The court acquitted accused Tulshibhai Ranabhai Baraiya of charges under Section 65(A) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949. The prosecution failed to conclusively prove that prohibited liquor was recovered from the accused's possession, as no FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) report was produced to confirm the seized material's nature. The court found critical gaps in evidence, particularly that panchnama (seizure document) lacked proper corroboration from independent witnesses, and the pantch witnesses' testimony did not substantiate the case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
