State of Gujarat vs ASUBEN ODHABHAI BIJALBHAI PARMAR Advocate - A B JOSHI — 349/2026

Case Summary: C.C. No. 349/2026 The court acquitted defendant Asuben Odhabhai Bijalbhai Parmar of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act 1949, Section 65(A). The court found that the prosecution failed to adequately prove that prohibited liquor was recovered from the defendant's possession without proper permit. Key evidentiary gaps included: panchnama (seizure document) not properly corroborated by independent witnesses, no FSL (forensic) report confirming the seized material was alcohol, and witness testimony contradicting the prosecution's case. Applying established precedent, the court granted the defendant benefit of doubt due to insufficient and unreliable evidence, and ordered his release with bail conditions continued.
