JUDEGEMENT

Summary of Case 299/2026 The court acquitted defendant Gavuben Kushavbhai Chauhan of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(A), finding that the prosecution failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt. The court noted critical evidentiary gaps: no FSL (forensic science laboratory) report confirmed the seized material's nature, panchas (witnesses) failed to corroborate the panchnama, and independent witnesses were not examined, creating reasonable doubt about the alleged illegal possession of liquor without proper permit. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
