    Judegement

    The court acquitted the accused Himmatbhai Naniyabhai Naayaka of charges under the Gujarat Prohibition Act for allegedly possessing 3,720 bottles of Indian-made liquor worth ₹4,08,000 and a vehicle worth ₹4,00,000. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish conscious possession by the accused, as no independent witness corroborated the recovery, the panch witnesses did not support the case, and critical procedural irregularities compromised the investigation, making conviction untenable.
