The State of Gujarat vs HARDIKBHAI DHARMENDRABHAI DABASARA Advocate - A R CHAVDA — 395/2025

JudegementView PDF

Case Summary: Case No. 395/2025 Acquittal Decision The court acquitted the accused, Hardikbhai Dharmendrabhai Dabasara, of charges under the Motor Vehicles Act sections 185, 181(3), 177, 184 and Prohibition of Alcoholic Liquor Act section 66(1)(b), finding the prosecution's evidence procedurally defective and unreliable. Key Reasoning The court held that mandatory blood-testing protocols under Rule 4 of the Medical Examination Rules 1959 were violated—critically, no evidence established that alcohol was prevented from touching the syringe during collection, and the sample reached the testing officer after the legally required seven-day period. The court found independent witnesses and medical testimony unreliable, noting procedural gaps undermined the prosecution case irreparably, warranting acquittal under the benefit of reasonable doubt.
