Final Orders / Judgements
The court held that Section 66(1)(B) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act is a non-cognizable offence following the 2017 amendment, which repealed Section 118 that previously classified such offences as cognizable. Since a first-time liquor consumption offence carries a maximum punishment of six months, it falls under Schedule I, Part II of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, requiring prior magistrate permission under Section 174(2) for cognizance. The court dismissed the case against the accused, finding that no such permission was obtained. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
