State of Gujarat vs KAILASBEN SURESHBHAI NAGJIBHAI PARMAR Advocate - A B JOSHI — 248/2026

Case Summary: State of Gujarat v. Kailasben Sureshbhai Nagjibhai Parmar (C.C.NO.248-2026) The court acquitted the accused Kailasben of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(A), finding that the prosecution failed to substantiate its case. The judge noted critical evidentiary gaps: the panchnama (formal inventory) lacked proper corroboration, independent witnesses were not examined, and no FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) report confirmed the seized material was illicit liquor. Applying precedent principles, the court held that when panchas (witnesses) provide unreliable testimony and independent corroboration is absent, the accused deserves benefit of doubt. The defendant was discharged and acquitted of all charges. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
