    Case Summary: C.C. No. 297/2026 The court acquitted defendant Kasuben Lakhubhai Chauhan of charges under the Mumbai (Gujarat) Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(A), finding that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court held that the panchnama (seizure record) was not adequately corroborated by independent witnesses, the seized contraband lacked forensic verification, and critical evidentiary gaps undermined the state's allegations of illegal liquor possession.
