Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: C.C.NO.287-2026 The court acquitted Pujaben Rahulbhai Vaghela of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(A), finding the prosecution failed to adequately prove that prohibited liquor was recovered from her possession without a valid permit. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps: panch witnesses could not substantiate the panchnama (seizure record), no FSL report confirmed the seized substance was alcohol, and independent witnesses were not examined, necessitating benefit of doubt to the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
