    Case Summary The court dismissed proceedings against Jagdishbhai Amarsinh Parmar for alleged liquor consumption under Section 66(1)(B) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, holding that the offense is non-cognizable. The 2017 amendment to the Prohibition Act repealed Section 118, which previously classified such offenses as cognizable; since the amended Act is silent on cognizability and the first offense carries maximum punishment of six months (less than three years), it falls under non-cognizable offenses per Schedule I, Part II of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. The court found that cognizance cannot be taken without prior permission under Section 174(2) BNSS, hence the proceedings were dropped. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
