Summary of Case 300/2026 The court acquitted the defendant Gavuben Keshavbhai Chauhan of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(A). The court found that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, particularly noting that the panchnama (seizure record) was not adequately corroborated by independent witnesses, no FSL report confirmed the seized substance was alcohol, and the panch witnesses' testimony did not substantiate the allegations. Consequently, the defendant was acquitted and released. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
