Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary The court dismissed proceedings against Pintukumar Narsinh Vanzara under Section 66(1)(B) of the Gujarat Prohibition Act (alcohol consumption), holding that the offense is now non-cognizable following the 2017 amendment that repealed Section 118. The court reasoned that since the repealed section previously classified Prohibition Act offenses as cognizable, and the amended Act remains silent on cognizability, the offense must be classified by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 Schedule I, which treats offenses with maximum punishment under three years as non-cognizable. With a six-month maximum sentence for first-time consumption offenses, the court found no cognizable offense and dropped proceedings without taking cognizance. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
