Case Summary: Case No. 215/2026 Court: Vallabhipur Judicial Magistrate First Class Judge: Aakar L. Trivedi Date of Judgment: 11/05/2026 Decision The court acquitted defendant Pravinbhai Premjibhai Chauhan of charges under the Prohibition Act, Section 65(a)(a), citing insufficient evidence. The prosecution failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt that the accused illegally sold country liquor without proper permit from his residence. While police witnesses testified about recovery of alleged contraband, independent witnesses (panchas) provided no credible corroboration, and critical evidentiary gaps undermined the case's foundation. The court found the prosecution's evidence inherently suspect and granted the benefit of doubt to the accused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
