Summary of Case 319/2026 The court acquitted respondent Raiyaben Sureshbhai Vaghela 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 held that the panchnama (official inventory record) was not adequately proven, independent witnesses were not examined, the panch witnesses who testified contradicted the complainant's case, no FSL report confirmed the seized substance was alcohol, and the police investigation was insufficient. Applying established precedents, the court granted the benefit of doubt to the accused and acquitted her with directions to destroy the seized contraband. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
