Final Orders / Judgements
Summary of Case 296/2026 The court acquitted the accused Bavuben Manojbhai Vaghela of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(A) for alleged illegal possession of prohibited liquor. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt, as the panchnama (seizure record) was not properly corroborated by independent witnesses, no FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) report confirmed the seized material was liquor, and the panchayat witnesses contradicted rather than supported the case, entitling the accused to the benefit of doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
