    The court acquitted the accused Bhikhuben Vikrambhai Dholkiya of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(A), finding that the prosecution failed to conclusively prove the alleged recovery of prohibited alcohol. The court determined that the panchnama (seizure document) lacked proper corroboration from independent witnesses, no FSL report confirmed the substance's nature, and critical procedural gaps undermined the case credibility, warranting acquittal based on reasonable doubt. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
