    Case Summary: 317/2026 The court acquitted the accused, Anasuyaben Mukeshbhai Valjibhai Vaghela, of charges under Section 65(A) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act 1949. The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that prohibited alcohol was recovered from the accused's possession, as critical evidence—including independent witness testimony, FSL reports on the seized material, and a properly authenticated panchnama (seizure record)—was either absent or unreliable. The court found contradictions in witness statements and noted that witnesses examined by the prosecution did not adequately support the case, warranting the benefit of doubt to the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
