State of Gujarat vs VARSHABEN JAYSUKHBHAI NAVDIYA Advocate - A B JOSHI — 293/2026

The court acquitted the accused, Varshaben Jaysukhbhai Navdiya, of charges under the Bombay Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(A), finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps, including the absence of an FSL report confirming the seized material was alcohol, unreliable panchnama documentation, and witness testimony that contradicted rather than supported the complainant's case, warranting the benefit of doubt in favor of the accused.
